CONCLUSION

Think of the NS-F901s as highly crafted loudspeakers that offer a sound characterised by poise and sophistication. They are smooth yet very insightful, pushing vocals and instruments out to listeners. Having neither excessive bass or treble, minimal colouration, but quite a forceful air, they were dynamically lively and engaging to hear. Classical listeners in particular will love their poise and refinement, but they played rock well too. The NS-F901s are true sophisticates, reflecting the pedigree of their manufacturers, Yamaha, who are also famous for their piano division.
