Two Way Bass Reflex Bookshelf Speaker System
Yamaha's NS-333 speaker system has been designed specifically for home theater applications. The bookshelf speaker is a bass-reflex design that can be used for main or surround channels and incorporates a 5" Polymer-Injected Mica Diaphragm (PMD) cone woofer and a 1” aluminum dome tweeter. For improved imaging, the tweeter utilizes Yamaha's exclusive waveguide horn.
Waveguide Horn
Unlike most homes, movie theaters use sound absorbing materials on walls and ceilings. The result is that the sound reaching your ears is the sound wave produced by the speakers rather than reflected off the walls. Yamaha has created wave guides that greatly reduce reflected sound and increase the proportion of directly generated sound waves reaching your ears. The result is a clear and precise sense of sound direction and placement.
Internally Wired with Monster Cable™
Yamaha has chosen to ensure optimum sound quality by internally wiring some of the components with Monster Cable™. This ensures a clean, clear signal from the crossover network to the speaker driver.
Magnetic Shielding
The speaker is magnetically shielded, so it can be placed on a TV or video monitor without degrading the picture via stray magnetic fields.
Performance Enhanced by a Handsome Cabinet
The EF series speakers are enclosed in an Elliptical Form cabinet with a high gloss black piano finish, which provides solid construction with minimal sound diffraction.
New Grill Design
New grill design and grill cloth provide an attractive and acoustically transparent protective cover for the drivers.

Comments about Yamaha ns-333:
These are great sounding speakers. They bring out the subtle material that was available in the source that other systems leave hidden. Hearing guitar picks scraping the string (at low amp volume levels) may not seem worth mentioning, but if it is part of the source material, we should be able to hear it and these speakers give you that clarity. I think they are best when set up with a woofer, but they hold up nicely without one --- which your neighbors might appreciate. When the amp volume is turned up loud, these speakers handle the levels without cracking nor do they get shrill. The speakers I have have a neutral to ever so slightly warm tone. They work quite nicely for music such as jazz, blues, movie whispers and action noises and dialog.
For the price and value, Yamaha professionally delivered a great speaker system.

Comments about Yamaha ns-333:
I use these mostly for tv and movies, and have them hooked up to Yamaha rxv371 amp. I had some smaller box 1800bl's hooked up before. I turned my bass down on these, because they put out plenty for me at +2. The voices are deep and sound real natural. Also with the higher sensitivity, adjusted my turn on level.
Played some Scorpions greatest hits and turned up to a -12db and the guitar screamed in a good way. They handle plenty of power. Just love these speakers. I bought 2 sets with the 444 center and a Yamaha sub. Movies just sound great, especially when turned up.
I usually don't turn on my sub, except for movies. These have enough bass for sports, and everyday tv.
Oh, also don't have to turn up as much to hear dialogue, which can be nice at night.
Also built speaker stands at 36 inches tall to put them near, above ear level. A little taller for rear.

Comments about Yamaha ns-333:
This pair of bookshelves produces impressively high quality sound. I'm using it all the time and am completely blown away by it's quality. It's a bargain for the price and it looks pretty neat next to my TV.
Using it mostly connected to my RX-V571 receiver to watch TV, movies, series and to listen to music while using some DJ equipment.
Definitely recommended as a great buy!!!
