(also the 'surround modes' add a slight reverb/echo to the sound, as well as making the sound muffled. The speaker sounded great out of the box, just testing on the floor.īut I have made a few adjustments in settings and location over time to achieve the sound I was happy with.įirst off I turned the surround mode to stereo, as this is the format most music is recorded in, 5.1 surround is for movie audio (You can force movie audio output to stereo if you want, that what I do). (who are known to faithfully reproduce quite a flat sound profile ideal for music) made it a must buy. So it is a well priced 3-way system, plus the reasons above, and the fact it was Yamaha (Most cheaper smaller bookshelf speakers have this focused listening area where they sound good, but the angle of sound is quite small)

Its main purpose is to listen to music, I was looking for a powered speaker system for cheap.Īnd found the appeal in a soundbar with its fixed (designated) channel (left/right) separation and its design for a wider angle of sound It gets good use regularly at least a few times a week. Got it for around $160-170 from BingLee sale a few years ago.įirst off it has been absolutely great for its price.
