Yamaha NS-F140 floorstanding speaker review

Yamaha NS-F140 floor-standing acoustic systems

Both speakers have a two-way crossover configuration, but the ā€œolderā€ speaker is equipped with two midrange/midrange drivers and the original pedestal, consisting of tapered feet and a lower platform. The ā€œjuniorā€ model, which will be discussed in this review, has quite ordinary appearance and rectangular forms without extra frills. At the same time the speaker system looks elegant because of its slim shape: a decent height of 95 cm and a narrow front panel with a width of only 20 cm. And the speakers give you plenty of room for decent sound power. Finished in black ash NS-F140 has ascetic, but very harmonious appearance, which advantageously differs from the other representatives of the budget segment, attracting the buyer by shouting design. For those who find the black veneer too modest, there is a brighter rosewood rosewood finish.

There are two drivers on the NS-F140 front: the squeaker has a soft dome with 25 mm diameter, the midrange driver is equipped with a 165-mm conical membrane with a concave central cup. The drivers are covered by a removable curly grill covered in dark fabric. The grilles got a favorite by Japanese designers stylized contours of guitarā€™s resonator, which recently used in the design of micro systems, and in Hi-Fi speakers, such as in the flagship models of NS-family ā€“ NS-F700. These grilles are a hallmark of newly released Yamaha speakers in various classes and a hint that the speakers are made by one of the worldā€™s most respected musical instrument manufacturers. The back of the NS-F140 has a bass reflex port bell and two gold-plated, plastic-insulated terminal plates. The NS-F140 can be mounted on spikes, although they are available as an option at an additional cost.

Like the other speakers in the NS-family, the NS-F140 would make a great addition to a home theater set. The designers already took care of the matching surround speakers. If you use the NS-F140 for the front channels of the speaker system we recommend you add the NS-P150 set ā€œcenterā€ plus two rear satellites and a receiver and an active subwoofer of your choice, for example RX-V471 and YST-SW012, however other combinations, depending on the room size, are possible with an amplifier and a ā€œsubā€.
