"A giant step up in sound or a stepping stone to another level."

Feature:
No extras included. It does what it does.

Quality:
Everything is fine except for the feet. They are crap! They pull, roll off the cabinet with the slightest sliding motion in moving them. The front two can be fixed, improved but the back can't without building something onto the cabinet to re-attach them to.

Value:
So far, appears to be a great value considering performance and cost against other brands.

Desirability:
A functionally attractive aesthetic. Not an impulse buy sort of thing as if you came across a vintage Les Paul and you could afford it.

Sound:
Sounds great for our roots rock band. Adding them made the difference in sounding like an "Act" as opposed to a garage band.

Ease of Use:
Straightforward, simple.

Support:
No issues so far that require support. Just hoping if it came to it.

Overall:
After a year, they still do their job well enough that any shortcomings can be overlooked or tolerated. I will probably keep using them until our PA/Sound is somebody elses problem to deal with.

"Thought it was a decent product with a reliable company...I was wrong."

Feature:
No accesories I know of... USeful features were that they were 8 ohm each and daisy chained to 4 ohm for amplifier matching.

Quality:
Very unhappy with quality. We are a part time classic rock band, had these less than a year, absolutely did not over power or under power them and one of them had major driver failure. Our sound technician (very technically trained) opened them after getting them back from Yamaha service rep, and up found no evidence of "burning" as the Yamaha service rep at warranty center claimed it had. (They refused to honor warranty and replace driver as result of their "diagnosis".) Our sound technician sent a letter and comparison pictures of what a real "burned" driver looked like and a picture of our driver they said was burned, which did not have a scorch mark anywhere, and we recieved no response or compensation from anyone in the chain of service.

Value:
Not worth it in my opinion.

Desirability:
Was suppose to be a practical addition to our setup...

Sound:
The sound quality was about average.

Support:
...as mentioned in "Quality" section, they refused to honor warranty and replace driver as result of their "diagnosis". Our sound technician sent comparison pictures of a what a real "burned" driver looked like and a picture of our driver they said was burned, which did not have a scorch mark anywhere, and we recieved no response or compensation from anyone in the chain of service.

Overall:
Very disappointed...replaced drivers in the cabs with another brand, on our own, at additional expense.

News
Gigging bands, mobile DJs and houses of worship have helped make the first four generations of Yamaha Club Series Speakers incredibly popular. The refinements of generation V continue this success story: larger enclosures for improved low-frequency performance, improved drivers for higher power handling, redesigned crossovers, stronger grilles, and dual Speakon and 1/4 in. connectors. Once again, with professional features, excellent sonic performance and great value, Club Series loudspeakers deliver premium quality night after night.

Features

18 in. cast frame driver

Response down to 30Hz

Efficient Bass reflex design

Great for use with dance music

Continuing to build on successful sound reinforcement products targeted to gigging musicians, mobile DJs, houses of worship and small-to-medium sized venues, Yamaha presents the Club V loudspeaker systems.

New cabinet tunings yield improved low frequency performance, and newly developed transducers allow higher power capacities for use with larger amplifiers. An improved, constant-directivity horn was also developed to further enhance high frequency dispersion and response. Durable steel input panels contain both dual 1/4-in. and dual Neutrik Speakon? connectors.

The new Club V loudspeakers continue to offer performance and selection normally only available at substantially higher prices. These rugged, carpet covered cabinets feature heavy gauge, arced steel grilles and steel corner protectors.

The hallmarks of the Yamaha Club speakers are great sound, rugged cabinetry, and value - in other words, more bang for the buck.
