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, made 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 strong presence in the bass range thanks to their 20 cm drivers.

The “High Level” control located on the front panel allows you to adjust 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, checked, and tested. They operate perfectly: all drivers produce clear and balanced sound on both channels. The membranes and suspensions are in excellent condition. The high-frequency level controls work correctly. The enclosures are also very well preserved given their age, with only normal signs of use visible in the photos.

The photographs are an integral part of the description and allow precise assessment of the overall aesthetic condition.
