Yamaha ns-555 luidsprekers het aanbod betreft een nieuwe set met transportschade. Staat van de speakers: in gebruikte staat, technisch 100% in orde. (1 Van de 2 nieuw in doos, onbeschadigd) bijgelever
These Yamaha floorstanders have a solid reputation as an easy, punchy entry into the brand’s NS series, but the asking price is ambitious versus the used market. At €575, it sits well above the €374 75th percentile for recent comparable listings, and far from the €199 median and €98 25th percentile, so this is not a bargain-priced opportunity.
That said, the model is well liked for giving a lively, room-filling presentation with good bass weight for the size, making it a sensible buy if you want approachable hi-fi sound without moving into pricier towers. At this level, I’d want a clean pair with intact drivers, matching grilles, and ideally proof of careful ownership; if they’re pristine and locally available, the convenience may justify some premium.

Yamaha stands as one of the world's most storied audio manufacturers, with roots extending far beyond consumer electronics. Founded in 1887 by Torakusu Yamaha in Hamamatsu, Japan, the company began as a reed organ manufacturer before expanding into pianos and eventually becoming a comprehensive musical instrument maker. This deep heritage in acoustics and materials science would prove foundational to its later audio ventures. The company operated under its original name, Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd., until 1987, when it was renamed Yamaha Corporation in honor of its centennial.
Yamaha's entry into high-fidelity audio proved transformative for the industry itself. In 1954, the company released the Yamaha Hi-Fi Player, widely recognized as the world's first audio component to bear the "Hi-Fi" designation in its name. The company subsequently built a comprehensive product portfolio spanning amplifiers—beginning with the acclaimed A-100 in 1960—speakers, turntables, and digital audio equipment. The NS-1000 speakers, introduced in 1974 with beryllium drivers, became iconic reference monitors. Yamaha also pioneered digital audio technology, shipping the world's first CD recorder in 1988.
Today, Yamaha occupies a distinctive position as a mid-to-high-end generalist rather than a niche specialist. The brand commands respect among both casual listeners and serious audiophiles, balancing accessibility with genuine engineering credibility. Its reputation rests on six decades of consistent innovation, proven reliability, and the unique advantage of applying musical instrument expertise to audio reproduction. Vintage Yamaha components remain highly sought by collectors, while current products maintain the brand's tradition of delivering performance and durability across multiple price tiers.
