 Great speakersJun 18, 2008
By Sanjay Poonia
I put two pairs of these in my living room and am very impressed with the sound quality and the bass output (I don't have a subwoofer connected).
These are well built speakers and installation was very easy with the provided template. The swivel tweeter however did not have any impact on sound quality at different listening positions.
After a comparison with Polk RC-80i, I would give these speakers a higher grade than the Polks.

 Easy Install, great soundAug 25, 2008
By T. Wehrenberg

I was nervous about installation having never mounted one before.
The template provided worked fine, don't cut any smaller than the hole you have traced out. I learned to cut just outside the line for best fit.
I found the best tool for cutting the dry-wall was a jigsaw blade in a vice-grip.
The connectors for the wires are a very high-quality spring-loaded design. Very easy to connect he wires with when you are up on a ladder.
The cosmetic grill that covers the speaker can snap into place without any tools or need of the included adhesive pad. Worst case, you may have to pry or pound it in with your fist gently.
Sound great so far. I also used a lot of leftover inslation around the spaker between the floor joists to accoustically insulate them. I have one set of these in my basement ceiling and don't want too much noise upstairs, so I even used that thick lead-weight barrier material for automotive speakers above these to help prevent that.
IMHO, Yamaha strikes the right balance of cost, quality, and performance.

The exchange value is there. Pound for pound the best 8" speakers I have ever owned. These will not handle all receiver can push on front channels but excellent, clear & bright mids & highs. Need another pair.

Speakers look great and sound great!Jun 26, 2010
By Amazon Fan
The sound was surprisingly clear with a wide range which, for the price, was something I was wondering about. The addition of a subwoofer is needed to complete the range of sound. Both speaker were added to a 12 ft. by 18 ft. room and cover the entire space fairly evenly. The small speakers are cheaper but I doubt you can cover a normal size room with sound when going below a 10 in. speaker unless you get four of them. You may want to do that for movie listening but I am only playing music so the two speakers works best.

 one problemJan 18, 2010
By A. donato
The speakers themselves sound good. My beef is the way they look. This is for my living room so I was looking for something discrete.
Unfortunately the covers are shaped like muffin tops. Looks like my ceiling is a haven for pods. I bought a different brand for my kitchen that are truly flush
