515 PMD Series speakers are designed to bring out the full potential of high-performance digital sound sources. They use PMD (Polymer-injected Mica Diaphragm) cone woofers, aluminium dome tweeters and other high quality parts to achieve sensitive response. They will also look impressive in any home theatre room.

The YST-SW515 is designed to acoustically match the speakers in the 515 PMD Series, and is recommended to be sold together with them (Specifications are on p.32).
