Unbelievable


Yamaha really made this statement:

Glossy black piano finish provides improved signal-to-noise performance

I thought I would seek opportunity to hear these speakers, but now I do not think so

Not exactly. Resonances produce distortion. But you were close, very close. The signal becomes distorted by resonances induced or external. The signal itself in cables and cords and wire is not vibratory.
In the framework of "Signal to noise" which is a measurement, cabinet resonances are not noise, but could present as distortion. If you want to be pedantic magic pebble man, resonances induced that are not at the frequency of the stimulus will measure as distortion. If you are going to be pedantic, at least be right. 


The thread is about speaker finishings. Bringing up what happens in a cable is called lack of self control.
asvjerry,

"A finger piano and kazoo?"
I would let the boys decide if they want to use the finger. As I said, I would not interfere.
