Reviewing the Yamaha NS-F150 Tower Speakers ⎯⎯

[@singedcarry]

Yamaha NS-1000's! My favorite sounding loudspeaker overall; not just Yamaha. It's my daily driver, and I'm listening to this video on them now. I can't recommend them enough. Crisp tight base from a sealed 12", and remarkable mids, and highs that don't break down when you push them. They still hold up well since the tight bass leaves room for a modern subwoofer's range in both music or home theater. I am biased, though. I grew up listening to music and film on my father's pair of NS-1000's.

[@PAULGRILL]

I had Yamaha HS80 as studio monitors and I almost cried when I gave them away.

[@adamsonlinearrayspeakersha87]

Hello there

[@gregmiller3630]

This one's easy. Back in the day I had a pair of S-4115H utility speakers that I used for home listening, mobile DJ, and friends parties when their parents were out of town. Although they couldn't play as loud as my Altec 846's, they had a smoother mid range, and were easier to move around on their built in casters. I don't know how long they were in production, but Yamaha sold a zillion of these things and if you've ever been on a carnival midway ride in the 70's, 80's or even 90's, it's probably what was barking out the sound track or announcements. To this day I still run across the odd forum thread about someone using them in their home hi-fi system with a pair of tube amps, which is kind of cool. On a more serious note, the NS-1000 and NS-690 were really nice speakers both sonically, and cosmetically. (The rosewood version of the NS-1000 was stunning)

[@abhisheksharma1920]

Can you please review the Fluance Fi70?

[@James_Ransford]

I own these speakers. The treble is beautifully clear even at high volumes and they handle hi-res formats really well.

[@JohnArchbell]

Thanks for this. I got a pair being delivered Tuesday. £186 from Amazon. I’m busy renovating a music room at home and these fit the bill nicely as a Zone B set of speakers to run off my Yamaha RX-A880 receiver that’s in the living room. The room isn’t big so I don’t need to turn the volume up loud. They meet the criteria and won’t break the bank. Besides, I’d rather have these than a pair of book shelf speakers.

[@sirsuse]

Andrew, I really love that you get your wife's input in the review. As she stated your hearing and hers are a little different. That makes these reviews more palpable in my opinion. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. 👍

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

So glad you're enjoying her input. I love hearing her thoughts too!

[@dougg1075]

Yes. I think some KZbin reviewers are missing out on the Siskel and Ebert formula. Audio excellence channel does use it and it works.

[@RCB2244]

Hey Andrew, I'd also like to see a review from you on the BIC ACOUSTECH PL-980. Horn tweeter, similar style to Klipsch (which I own some Klipsch).

[@davidle7864]

It shows that products are inherently subjective, which is great. Really reinforces your tag line: the only person who needs to like your speakers is you

[@RafaelMaia]

Love it that you're adding these conversations with Kristi's opinion at the end! Not just for her take (which is great to have) but also the conversation between you two is really insightful and even helps clarify some of the takes from the review. Great addition! Keep it coming! :D

[@iluvkhriz]

Keeping it real, nice, honesty is greatly appreciated. Mediates mindset on your reviews, asinine remarks and all loved the review.

Thank you very much for this review. I really appreciate that you hold nothing back. I am happy to be a subscriber to your channel, Andrew. Cheers!

[@kennethabbott3856]

It's nice to see a not-profusely-glowing review of something. We all know this type of product is out there. It's just nice to hear that everything isn't Chianti Classico and Florentine steak. And my favorite Yamaha speaker is the YSP-1600 soundbar.

[@jhiss100]

As always, incredibly informative and well conveyed.

[@mahdidolley3763]

Great video as always! I'd love to see a review or hear your thoughts on the Klipsch R610 towers or perhaps the other towers in the Reference range

[@bobanth3929]

I view a lot of these online audio review channels. They are good but they are always one persons opinion. I love the fact that you both have an opinion here and you are both accepting of each others views. It doesn't matter what I think of these speakers. you have shown in this video what I believe is the most important thing with choosing your home audio. Not everyone likes the same sound from their audio products. If they did there would be 1 amplifier 1 pair of speakers and so on. I have had many speakers/amplifiers/turntables etc. over the years that I have loved but friends of mine have not. As I get older I realised that it wasn't about what other people liked but about what I liked. Your videos give people a good idea of sound and build quality so they can go out and listen to the products with a good idea of what to expect. Please keep providing us with these very informative and entertaining videos.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Bob I want you to know that your comment means the world to me. I appreciate that you can see and understand what my larger goal and philosophy about hifi. I love that I get to include my wife, Kristi, in the journey and that together we’re able to share with all of you. Thank you so much and be well.

[@AdrianC12345]

Thanks for this great and thorough review! I'm a new subscriber since I've watched a few of your videos. Would LOVE to hear your thoughts on the Yamaha NS-777's since there is so little out there on these!

[@RCB2244]

Andrew, I always enjoy your channel. I'd love to see you review the Yamaha NS-555 or NS-777. "Should" be a better quality speaker than the 150. Also, Polk M-70....and/or Polk TSI-500 (if you can still get your hands on a pair). Also, you may want to check out the Emotiva T-zero. Thanks, keep up the good work on the reviews!

A friend loaned me a pair of Yamaha Studio Monitors, about 30 years ago. One night I was playing them and I started falling asleep, when the bells started playing on the Dark Side of the Moon album I thought they were in the room. I jumped up. Maybe 12 inch tall monitors about 5 inch woofers. Do not remember the model, had white woofers, extremely clear sounding speakers. Think model started with 'NS' . Fantastic. Thanks for another great review.

[@pedrito77]

Yes, please review those other tower speakers: Polk and Klipsch. THANK YOU!

Hey! Great video. Do you think they would sound better with the other yamaha rear speakers and subwoofer? I am looking to buy the whole set.

Hi Andrew. Any chance you might review Polk T 50's speakers everybody talking about? I have read and watched many reviews but I would love to hear what are your thoughts about them. Thank you for all great reviews I have watched. Keep them coming.

Hello Andrew, I really admire the way you review/ interpret the speaker's characteristic, it was awesome and I love watching your videos. I would like to know your thoughts about the Yamaha's SOAVO series, hoping to hear a review from you for these speakers and subwoofer. Thank you in advance.

[@thomasobriant2187]

Hey Andrew I have a pair of the NS-F150 speakers, I enjoyed them then passed them on and got a pair of the NS-777'S. I'd love to see you review these. Also I appreciate the review of Yamaha speakers in general. You don't see Yamaha speakers professionally reviewed often. Thank you.

[@muhendisabi1697]

Would you compare f150 vs ns777 about the musical sound especially please? Thank you?

[@laszlojoni945]

I'd love to see a review of the Polks.

[@jedijtk]

Enjoy your reviews. Great channel. I'd be interested in your thoughts on the Andrew Jones designed Pioneer SP-FS52. I use them in my barn so I'm not critically listening at all and the acoustics are terrible. But, they are an inexpensive alternative as well and can still be found.

[@djs9281]

You read my mind with this latest video. Well almost. A straight up this or that video on tower speakers would help me the undecided. I was leaning towards the Fluance towers now at a reduced price on their Canadian site. Now not so sure. I enjoy the vids and glad to here you and your wife have done well.

[@rjzlwop3153]

I would be very interested in seeing you do a review on the Polk audio TSI 400, great video you’re very

[@marcoayo]

I love your wife. She is a great support for channel: her ideas about sound in generale (speaker or something like that) are true 'cause that she thinks is that a customer would like to understand about a new product. Of course Andrew describes all products very very well and I love his video (for quality and opinions) but wife's support is the icy on the cake (I don't know how sounds in english but in italian is "è la ciliegina sulla torta") .

[@southernbuckeye2835]

Great review, as always! Would love to see review of any of the JBL Studio (530, 570, 590) line of speakers.

[@rafacq]

Wow! I think this is the first time I’ve seen/heard such an honest review! Kudos for the courage to report your thoughts as you see it. Thanks. Wonder if Yamaha will respond to the review? Would love to hear their comments.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

They likely won’t (a lot of brands don’t comment) which is fine. I don’t think Yamaha has to comment as I’m sure they’re well aware of this product’s potential shortcomings. It’s a budget speaker, but maybe one that was manufactured just a little too cheaply.

Hey Andrew, thank you very much for the informative and entertaining content. I think you should add to your content videos about design ideas. For example how to methodically place the speakers in various scenarios, how to pick the right mix of speakers, how to choose the right speaker wires, ...etc. Im personally interested in various sound system solutions but I have no way of understanding the nitty gritty details involved. Thanks again.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Appreciate the suggestion. I'll put it on the idea list and see if there isn't a video there worth making. Thanks for watching!

Honesty, top shelf. Comparison, very good. Stars and Strips...Priceless 👍

[@bassobert]

Thanks A R! I enjoy loking at your videos.When it comes to cheap speakers I can recommed Heco Victa Prime 702. I was thinking to buy Yamaha, but I got theese very cheap (new). I bought them whitout listening first. They surprised me very much. Sounds good with all kinds of music. Nice and good building quality. German brand but probably made in china. Only bad thing is the feeds or spikes. But for that price You cannot expect super quality on everything. So if You have the chance to listen to them, give them a chance.

Loved the Yamaha conversation. Just started watching your channel and learning about what's going on in the audio world the last... ahem... four decades. My Harmon Kardon 230A based system has slowly morphed as things wore out, into a Yamaha TSR 700 receiver driving a Yamaha NS-AP4400 7.1 speaker set. I enjoy the sound of my system (maybe because I no longer blast music and my hearing isn't what it used to be) but I do wonder what modern speakers my Yamahas are equivalent to. Any ideas anyone?

[@DanielPerez-dl2gs]

Good point, Kristi, about what each one of us can to hear. Is there an on-line hearing test you recommend?

[@robrose8126]

Sometimes the grain/sand sound that can be heard in some (not all) speakers & tweeters is do to the crossover component choices & design. In some cases simply replacing the tweeter electrolytic capacitors in the crossover with quality polypropylene type of the same value will give & smoother/hi-res sound in the top end without actually changing the frequently response. I do this with most speakers i have owned in the past 25 years as a studio sound engineer & electronic repair tech... including some yamaha's (ns-777's). Also, replacing things on a component level may not be for everyone, but it is also a great tool to develop your hearing for the very fine sonic differences. Thanks & love your reviews 👍

Hi! Great video as always 😊 I have been in the planingface for a future DIY big home theatre setup (9.12.6, total power: 79000wRMS, total cost with projector, screen, seating, audio and cables is "for now" around $66666) but have had some challenges when it comes to choosing the right amps. I will need to use power amplifiers, as the speakers is going to have a true RMS rating of 2000w+ pr. speaker and i want to be able to push them to pretty high levels and be able to play at lower levels with minimum distortion. The three brands of amps I have in mind is Crown, Powersoft and Lab Gruppen. The one that I have landed on for now, is the Crown DCi 4|2400N for the mains and surrounds. The reason that I am writing this to you, is because I would love to see a comparison of more PA style amps from a sound quality aspect. SQ is going to be an important part of the system, and it is also going to be used quite a lot for two channel listening.I think quite a lot of people would love to see something like this form you, and would find it very interesting! Just the aspect of finding a PA style amp that rivals the famous budget XLS DriveCore in a setting when you have speakers that take alot of power to really open up would be interesting and give more purpose to a video like this 🙂

Now, here is a nice subject for a future video, you said in the video speaking about the Fluance speakers: "provided you pair them with an amplifier that can properly control their built-in 8" subwoofers" That would be a great subject to treat in a video, how do you determine if an amplifier can do that etc.. Not just for the Fluance but in general, it would a great informational/tutorial video I assume (PS: I did rewatch the Fluance speakers review to make sure and you didn't mention this in that one) Thanks

Hey Andrew what would you recommend for this budget for listenin to some fast drums and heavy guitars - hard rock and metal like Deep purple or Slayer?

[@cliffordpurk18]

Oh no. I was considering these speakers until this review. Thank you for this!

[@danil34]

I love an honest uncoated review. Kudos to u

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Thanks.

Yamaha NS-1000[x] .. Bought a pair in 1981 in Iwakuni, Japan, MCAS PX .. (I believe $250 a pair / ~$400 a speaker today) Lasted me (with only one tweeter replacement after ~10 years) to Jan 2020 when lost in a storage theft .. Paired them with a surround package in 1995 (1sub, 2 rear, 2 side, 1 center) to give me a 7.2 system .. Total life of ~40 years of listening bliss!

I'd love to see you review the Tekton Lore towers (without the beryllium tweeters), Jay at NextBestThing loved these.

[@omarjimenez8895]

Would love to see a series or mini series where you react to viewers audio setup, music tastes, gear wishlists, etc.

hi.. is it possible if you do some sound tests using royalty free music, I know it wont be the same experience like sitting in your lounge, but at least it gives us the idea how it sounds like. Good review btw.

[@cynthiarheinschmidt9099]

Pair of Yamaha NS -333 mated up with a YST-FSW100 subwoofer served very well in my budget office system, best non-pro audio Yamaha speakers I've personally heard.

[@SergioHernandez-le8wp]

Really digging your new intro music

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Thanks!

[@christopherwilson6825]

Great honest review . That's why I subscribed. But I will if you please , if you can do another budget speaker . The polk T50 would be great ! Awesome review and honestly , A1

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

✅. vote for Polk T50. Noted. Thanks for watching!

[@christopherwilson6825]

@@andrewrobinsonreviews I love your passionate sarcasm and priceless facial expressions even though you try to hide i lol . "Classic" when it comes to some of these speakers and their names behind it and a lot of them are poorly constructed well I'm not going to say a lot of them but half of them LOL. Thank you Andrew and thank you Andrew's wife . Y'all been a pleasure.

[@Project337]

Downer outtake at the end made my day.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mrhoffame]

"Anger them..." LOL. Great, honest review my friend!!

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Thanks, but we're always honest with you guys around here. Appreciate you tuning in!

[@movie_av_impulse]

@@andrewrobinsonreviews first off I love the channel. I'm interested in you reviewing the klipsch tower loud speakers. I'm starting to rebuild my home theater system. I'm coming from Bose series iii my whole home theater is Bose but I recently bought the klipsch center channel and WOW. What a night and day difference from the klipsch center channel to the Bose center. I'm waiting on my new receiver to come in. Next I'm gonna buy tower speakers so please review them. There budget friendly. Thanks to you guys I'm back to loving my audio side again. 😃

[@Trump1776]

Now that honesty we all need , 👍🏻

[@sarcastic_wanderer]

Feels like we're getting close, is there any chance you review the JBL Studio 590's?

[@olakunleolafisoye8433]

Pls sir review the polk audio you mentioned! Thanks

[@alexHowser]

Id really love to see you reviewing Magnat speakers. Either the Monitor Supreme or one of the Signatures would be awesome!

[@romeoqv]

have you ever revieved the Polk audio LSi15? I love to see a review of then. I know they are a bit old and hard to come by.

[@3ph384]

Hello andrew , follow you in your several speaker review . I weas wondering if you can make a review of the elusive "Yamaha NS-F901PN 3-Way Bass Reflex Floorstanding Speaker" many thanks in advance, more power to you and your channel

[@jdbeverage8281]

I would love to see you review the Polk tsi200 bookshelf!

[@stopthink9000]

Love the debate! I had the Fluance towers on my short list so disappointed she didn't love them. These yammies catfished me for sure. They do look sexy from a distance but up close, oh no no no - no thank you. They would have to sound like heaven to overcome the warts and it doesn't sound like they manage that. Great review!

[@dirkbisschoff8946]

Thanks Andrew, I appreciate your honest review. The 'famous' Yamaha studio monitors are the NS10's I believe...used in many recording studios around the world, personally I've always thought of the Yamaha brand in general, as a bit 'bright' sounding or "digital-ish''.. lacking warmth & real 'feel', although I know they make fantastic equipment, it wouldn't be my first choice. Anyways, just my 2 cents worth. Cheers 🤘

[@ant0128]

How about a review on the Polk rtia3 or rtia5 or tsi line if they are still available. Thanks
