2x yamaha ns-555 speakers kleur: piano zwart geven mooi en krachtig geluid. Perfect voor muziek of home cinema. Gaan weg omdat ik te weinig ruimte heb in de woonkamer om ze te plaatsen. Speakers bevat
Condition is unknown, so this sits as a somewhat ambitious ask rather than an automatic pass: at €399 it is well above the €200 median and also above the €367 75th percentile for comparable used EUR listings. That makes the price hard to justify unless the pair is exceptionally clean, fully original, and includes any hard-to-find extras.
The NS-555 is a well-liked big floorstander for buyers who want a lively, room-filling presentation with solid bass weight and easy everyday drive. If the cabinets, grilles, and drivers are pristine, there is real value here for someone wanting a substantial Yamaha tower without chasing rare models—but at this level I’d want proof of condition and a willingness to negotiate, because the listing needs to sell the story as much as the speakers.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
