The speakers are large and look very nice. The sound quality and bass response very good, the sound quality was a little better than I had expected. It would be nice if the mounting bracket had more versatility,I would have liked to have been able to hang speakers under the eaves and point to the yard, instead I had to mount them to wall to allow them to face the desired direction.
Yamaha website wouldn’t let me submit a negative review. Speakers have been more trouble than they’re worth. Only positives are better sound than Bose 151 and plastic masking covers included for painting. Wiring posts don’t stay tight … plastic nuts spin on metal posts … one post eventually broke. Mounting brackets are flimsy, and plastic mounting screws don’t stay tight … eventually changed to normal hardware. Purchased Jul-2009 … only used 2 full summers … otherwise stored indoors … one speaker quit Jul-2012, one year out of warranty. Not worth paying for repair. Hard to find model number on Yamaha website, but when I did, DIY parts weren’t available. Lucky to find a lone new speaker priced reasonably on ebay.
All that I have bought from Yamaha has been high quality and these speakers are no exception. They are superior to the MTX speakers that quit working. The over all sound quality is better: clear, clean sound quality. The mounting hardware provided was more than adequate. Heavey duty. I highly recommend this product.
Bought one pair to install outside, under the eave as recommended. About 10 ft off the ground and 15 ft apart playing into an open patio. Driven by a Yamaha R 500 reciever up to 45 watts RMS/channel. Mounted vertically and pointed toward the center of the patio. Sounds good to me. Just remember they are small speakers and don't have a subwoofer. Perfect for what I wanted, but not anything like a set of inside big speakers. Just so much bass you can get out of a small speaker into the open outdoors.
This product is going to be great ford my BBQ party's. They are designed to be hung out of the way with the mounting brackets that it came with. The sound is fair, but it's only a small sub. It has a sound that I will give 2 thumbs up.
