For a first timer what is your opinion, an Ovation 148-rrb vs a Yamaha 730 series ?
383254
I own both the Ovation and the Yamaha. In my opinion the Ovation has better action and richer sound. The ovation also has a very easy adjustment to lower the action. The down side is that the hard case for the ovation is more expense. How that helps.I own 2 Yamaha's 6 & 12 also 2 6 string Ovation.s

Hello, I can't answer this, as I haven't tried the Yamaha 730 Series before buying. I juts came online and read some reviews, of a product that fit my budget and was a smaller instrument that had easy delivery. I'd suggest going to a local music store to try out the yamaha, and this ovation if they have it. Most larger cities will have a store that offers a pretty good selection. Good luck.

I have not tried the Yamaha. My kids are avid musicians and they prefer the Ovation line for their sound quality, action and electronics.

If space is not a problem I would go with the 163's. As far as sound and quality you will not notice a difference even if you had both units . either one you chose, they are great speakers !

I can not answer in terms of a direct comparison as I have not had the opportunity to do that. I can say that I am satisfied with the Hohner in my context which is using it for right hand practice or exploring melody for my accordion learning efforts.

I bought the 1000 for the larger subwoofer and amplifier but I wished I had purchased the 800 to save a little space in my home office. I doubt that there's much performance difference between them.

I returned the Pioneer SC-72 and bought a Yamaha 2030 that I am very pleased with.

My experience with Ovations is no. But for a couple of bucks it's worth a shot. You might have to sand it down a bit.

hands down i would recommend the monster turbine pro gold for you. I personally own the coppers and i like them better. not to assume you are Indian, but if you are: indian music will def sound better on the pro coppers. The coppers have a wide sound stage (they still have plenty of bass that you can feel) vs. the golds. I personally don't like all my music blocked out by to much bass. I love the coppers and i would highly recommend them for overall music. But all you want is just bass then go gold. Also remember before you return either of them, i recommend a 50 hour burn in period (that really helps to bring out the music). hands down i would recommend the monster turbine pro gold for you.

You are welcome. I think you will really like the 325 (and appreciate how easy it is to set up). Zvox has a 30 day policy where you can try it out, and if you don't like it, they will give your money back and pay for the return shipping. Also note that all Zvox speaker systems comes with a subwoofer output port, so if you are looking to add deeper base in the future you can always buy a subwoofer of your choice and easily hook it up (with one cable).

The Yamaha is a little quitter and better on gas. It is a little less expensive and will last a lot longer before it needs pistons and rings.

I just got the Yamaha one that goes with this. The only hassle is that you have to configure it with a browser and a ethernet connection on a computer. It works great!

Both have: matte finish black keys, adjustable touch response, 3 piano style pedals, attached pedal frame, dual headphone jacks, dual voice, reverb/chorus, user song record, sliding key cover, 3 years parts and labor warranty if you purchase from a Yamaha dealer. The V240 has the rhythms many people like which are not on the 162b. Best, Andy's Music

Depends on your system and sound you need. Are you lacking in bass ? If your room is small. 12 x12 you might be ok depending on your acoustics. If you want more bass and your amp can drive them, go for the 163. I enjoy the 153's and 143's however i have a polk powered sub and polk towers that push plenty of bass. The 153 is a good bookshelf speaker i use as my rear surrounds. The offer pretty good base. The 143 i use as side surrounds.

I recommend the official instructional video: Discovering The Yamaha MOX which can be had at Amazon and the knowledge from the official support site: www.motifator.com.

That is Personal Preference and subjective, I can't comment on the current Yamaha Line up but feel that Denon seems to be one of the leading edge AVR's these days. Their Auddessy Setup is really awesome as it automatically measures the distances and sets the proper levels of the speakers for you.

I don't know anything about the Yamaha. The Marantz is a good player, good sound and smooth functioning.

I honestly couldn't answer this as I did not compare the two. There were 2 similar models that I was torn between so I ended up downloading both manuals at Yamaha to compare them.

I never compared it to a Bic F12, I have to a Polk Audio PSW110 though and the Yamaha kicks it's butt! I'm just going off my own experience with mine. I've owned it now for almost 3 years and I have never had a single issue with it and I've used it hard for everything from movies, digital music, car audio (used it as a subwoofer in my 08 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT utilizing the power inverter) and for use on my electronic drum set. I don't know if it's because it's a downward facing sub or what, but the Yamaha SW315 fills the room with deep thumping bass. I love it! It was given to me as a Christmas gift from my brother and it continues to be one of the best gifts I ever got. I'd be lost without it.
