A purchase you'll never regret,

This review is from: Yamaha YSTMS50W 2.1 Computer Speakers (3-Speaker, White) (Personal Computers)
I've owned these speakers since last year, and I'm as awestruck today as I was when I first brought them home. I had been waffling on new speakers for a long time -- you know, they're not a necessity, should I indulge myself, etc.. All this agonizing despite the fact that I store most of my music (about 10 gigabytes) on the computer. Finally, I stumbled into a computer store with a speaker display that included these Yamahas, and my inner debate ended instantly. I couldn't even wait to go home and order them online ... I had to have these things hooked up that day. I've been in sonic heaven ever since. The low end in this subwoofer is beyond merely powerful, beyond merely fat, beyond merely distortion-free. (Your ears will buckle before these speakers ever will.) The low end is absolutely beautiful: sweet, tight, smooth (geez, I don't mean this to sound erotic), and, as many have pointed out, musical. I guarantee that any discriminating listener will find these speakers...Read more

I purchased these speakers for computer use, but the sound quality, and depth coupled with power output led me to use them with portable cd/md players in my office. The sound is awesome!

the only speakers you'll ever need,

Simply put, I was blown away by these speakers (and continue to be, of course). Not only do they actually produce the "brilliant highs" they're advertised to, but the YSTMS50's also provide enough bass to be felt three rooms away. However, they won't jar your fillings - the bass is round, smooth, and precise. The best word I can find to describe the experience of listening to these beauties is "immersion." You just feel surrounded in a swirling vortex of sound. It's great. Now, I'd be willing to pay a lot more for this kind of quality, and I was prepared for a hassle setting them. However, they were blasting out tunes in about seven minutes from bringing the box in from my front step, and I couldn't be happier.These Yamahas are THE choice not just for CDs, mp3's, games, DVD's, and all other computer uses, but they can be hooked up to anything with a simple 3.5mm audio plug. My Discman has never sounded better. If I could give these speakers ten...Read more
