<font color='#0000FF'>Let me be the first, it is critical to match Yamaha amps and receivers with proper speakers, unlike others, the Yamaha sonic signature in their amp and DAC section is way less forgiving.
Speakers that go well with Yamaha are Yamaha's own NS series, Paradigm, Magnepan, Canton, Axiom, B&W, Sonus Faber, Celestion, MB Quart, Camber. There may be more but these are the combos I have had the extensive chance to audition.</font>
