For me, these speakers sound very neutral. Compared to my previous Speakers, who also were in this price range, give the NS 555 Mids and highs clearer, but not overdone again. The basses are clearly structured and up to Fehrnsehton I turn the subwoofer not too. This while watching TV but only when no one is the one in the house through the living room of rolling tanks or a volcanic eruption, etc ... interferes. Oh, the great piano lacquer. I did not think that it is really necessary, with a really fine microfiber cloth to remove the dust daily. It is also nor to pay attention to the wiping direction. But for these gems that really a Spreading hint of instruments, I do this a lot.
