Product Description
The luxurious finish of the cabinet, similar to that used on Yamaha grand pianos, indicates the outstanding quality of this speaker system. The 3-way acoustic suspension design features a 20cm (8") high compliance, pearl white, long throw cone woofer with a cloth surround and an inverted dust cover. The midrange is a 10cm (4") ferro-fluid cooled, pearl white cone type with an inverted dust cover. The 2.2cm (7/8") balanced-dome tweeter is also ferro-fluid cooled. The speaker is magnetically shielded so it can be used near a TV, and has gold-plated banana plug compatible terminals.

 Bought Mine in 1996...They Still Rock! November 2, 2009
AlamoZ (Texas)
I have a pair of these Yamaha Speakers that I bought way back in 1996 at the late Good Guys Store. These speakers still sound like they are brand new. I use them to listen to my CDs, more recently we've been using them to listen to my wife's Ipod. I also use them as front speakers for the home entertainment system. They never failed me. They have been through some partying and they never broke, even when the music was playing so loud that the CD players skip.
These are good quality speakers made in the USA. I don't know at present time if they still make them here. I am very happy with the pair I got. I just wish I did not buy the extended warranty from the Good Guys. The warranty has long passed. Good Guys is no more, but my Yamaha speakers remain.
 great exterior, shoddy interior October 25, 2009

Made purchase of these NS-6490's on clearance from the 'shack in fall 2009 and I'm glad I did. Probably not worth current retail prices but grab them on markdown if you can. The exterior is beautiful even with the glaring white woofers. The speaker has the required heft to dampen the 8" woofer, and the range should be smooth with the choice of provided driver sizes. Unfortunately we consumers just won't know what it is capable of until it gets a decent crossover. Inside you will find no acoustic fill, which by itself isn't unexpected in a design at this pricepoint. However, there is no effective crossover. there are instead 2 capacitors acting as bass blockers for the 4" mid and the tweeter glued to the back of the terminal cup and the 8" woofer runs full range. In a larger woofer this may not be a problem as the voice coil simply wouldn't drive higher frequencies; here it is. Budget for acoustic fill and a proper crossover, or run a new terminal cup and bi-amp with eq's. I didn't take the other reviews seriously about the lack of bass, chocking it up to the sealed design. Stock levels are woeful for the woofer and box size. I'm hoping some acoustic fill will round out the bottom end a little until I can get a decent set of crossovers.

Ademas de hermosas en acabado suenan bastante bien las recomiendo, eso si solo para el rango de 100 a 200$ son la mejor inversion.el bajo es bueno pero lo mejor de estas cornetas son sus medio y agudos ya que tiene un sonido casi natural.

Works Great...Awesome Yamaha speakers! December 23, 2008
F. Xiong
These Yamaha's are great for front speakers. They are acoustic so they are totally enclosed, which gives it great boomy bass. They are also at a bargain for the price. Great quality built from trusted Yamaha and sounds amazing with music! It is however not a glossy finish, rather a matte black finish. For the price with this brand, you can't go wrong...pick up a pair!
