Yamaha - NS-144 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker set

Yamaha NS-144 – Pair of vintage revised speakers – Complete with original grilles – Made in Japan

Beautiful pair of Yamaha NS-144 acoustic speakers, manufactured in Japan in the late 1970s / early 1980s.

These speakers belong to Yamaha's famous “Natural Sound” series. They deliver clear, balanced, and dynamic sound with a nice bass presence thanks to their 20 cm woofers.

The “High Level” control located on the front allows you to adapt the high-frequency level according to room acoustics and listening preferences. The pair is complete with its two original front grilles.

Condition and operation

Both speakers have been revised, inspected, and tested. They operate perfectly: all drivers deliver clear, balanced sound on both channels. The cones and suspensions are in very good condition. The high-frequency level controls work correctly. The enclosures are also very well preserved considering their age, with only normal signs of use visible in the photos.

The photographs are an integral part of the description and allow you to assess the exact cosmetic condition of the set.
