The Yamaha grand piano’s vibrant sound has always held a special place in my memories of music from my youth. As a young performer and singer, I spent countless hours listening to the beautiful tones of a Yamaha grand piano in our local performance hall. It was no surprise that Yamaha’s new NS-600A speakers, inspired by their rich legacy of musical instruments, would bring back waves of nostalgia.

The NS-600A speakers deliver Yamaha’s signature sound with clear articulation, a wide soundstage, and powerful bass. Their premium price tag is justified by their luxurious design, featuring elegant angular cabinets with a glossy finish reminiscent of Yamaha’s finest pianos.

While the NS-600A speakers have a brighter tonal profile that may be too sharp for some listeners, those who prioritize clarity over subtlety will find these speakers to be a perfect match. The speakers shine across a variety of content, making them a great choice for listeners with a large budget.

The speakers’ sophisticated design is evident as soon as you unpack them, with sleek rounded corners and a glossy finish that exudes elegance. The speakers are heavy, indicating high-quality components inside, and ergonomic binding posts and a bass port at the back help enhance the listening experience.

Yamaha utilized acoustic principles from their musical instruments to optimize the NS-600A’s internal design, with features like the “Absorber” tube and Resonance Suppression chamber aimed at preserving the true character of instruments and vocals. Overall, the NS-600A speakers offer concert hall-class sound and design that will impress even the most discerning audiophiles.
