I bought these two speakers new from Stage Sound in Virginia to augment the sound from my new Clavinova digital piano, the internal speakers sound of which I was not satisfied with. Not long after that I was able to make significant adjustments to the internal Clavinova sound system as I learned its complexities. These two speakers have sat on top of the piano (see photo) since then, unused, in our climate controlled room with two acoustic grand pianos, full sized organ, and Roland digital piano. They have never been outside the house, and have about 2 - 3 total hours of use! I have finally gotten the motivation to sell them as I'm reducing the amount of things in our house. I have the original boxes and packaging, and these two amplified speakers are in as good of condition as two brand new amplifier/speakers. They have no marks, scratches, or any other damage or signs of wear. They are excellent speakers, I just don't have need for them so would like to find a good home for them. These speakers also are quite suitable for electric/acoustic guitar, piano, organ, monitor, microphone and other digital instruments.The asking price is $375 for each speaker. Buyer pays shipping. Buyer can purchase one or both speakers, each at this price.

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.
