The engineering and construction values of the NS-A636 were...umm... pretty bare-bones. Pop out the woofer & I reckon you'll find a single capacitor crossover to MR and HF drivers -- pretty nominal "three way" implementation.
The NS-A636 certainly didn't sound awful... but not great, either... so here's hoping your new Yamahas are better.
As an aside, Radio Shack once sold a version (of the NS-A636) as well, called the Optimus ST-S100 (see link below for a catalog page scan from www.radioshackcatalogs.com).
... and my prophylactic apologies if I have needlessly besmirched the speakers YOU just got by assuming their guts are like the NS-A636!
I'd be interested to know what the innards look like if you're inclined to find out.
all the best,
