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

Looks like the NS1000 from the 70”s...First use of Beryllium in speakers...I was at a Yamaha dealer meeting in Indianapolis when they unveiled them.  
A little more from Hokkaido...

"The ear pieces are made from strikingly beautiful traditional Japanese Echizen lacquer-finshed Hokkaido Asada cherry heartwood."

The whole thing looks like a very poorly translated thing, I doubt Yamaha actually meant to say that in Japanese.  Something got clipped.
C’mon everybody knows that that statement came from Eric at Tekton and it’s covered by patent # BR549
