Which the best speakers yamaha ns 333 or ns 6490?plz give me perfect answer?
Asked by: MOHAMMAD
The best speakers for what purpose? Are they primarily for music or TV/movies? Are they being used alone as a stereo pair or in conjunction with other speakers as part of a surround sound system? Is there a subwoofer involved? There is no perfect answer to the question you've posed. Sound is ultimately subjective. If you have questions and would like some guidance on which speakers may be best for you, please give us a call at 1-800-606-6969 for further assistance.
