Get your home theater system off to the right start with this pair of Yamaha NS-125F bass-reflex tower speakers. Designed with a tall, narrow profile specifically intended to complement flat-panel and plasma TVs, the speakers look and sound great, giving both movies and music the rich, full-bodied audio they deserve. Each speaker boasts dual 3.15-inch cone woofers and a 0.88-inch balanced dome tweeter, which combine to produce a 60 Hz to 35 kHz frequency response. Adding to the audio's efficiency are the luxurious black wood-finished cabinets, which include bass reflex ports that help increase and extend the bass performance. The end result is audio that sounds straight out of a commercial movie theater.

The speakers' power rating (40 watts nominal, 120 watts max) is best suited to moderate-sized rooms. For the best home theater performance, listeners should combine the NS-125Fs with the other speakers in Yamaha's 125 series, which includes similarly tuned bookshelf rear speakers and a center channel speaker. The speakers perform best on a sturdy, vibration-free surface at ear level on either side of the TV (the NS-125Fs are magnetically shielded to prevent video interference). As a final bonus, the speakers come with large, gold-plated binding post speaker terminals to ensure a high-quality signal transfer.

The speakers measure 9.3 by 41.3 by 9.3 inches (W x H x D) each and are covered by a two-year warranty.
