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

It will probably improve the (S/N ratio) IF.....mated to a pair of those 25000.00 dollar Oxygen free pure silver cables !!!!!
I thought this sounded preposterous at first.  But since Yamaha makes very good musical instruments, I tend to respect them.  Just speculation, but if these speaker cabinets are fabricated with wood, the paint finish might be some sort of epoxy or high strength material, that stiffens or damps the wood.  Being a DIY woodworker, I have experienced that some of my painted projects seem to take on a better structural situation after painting.  Just a thought!
C37 lacquer audiophile anti vibration paint for speaker cabinets, speaker diaphragms, capacitors, wire, printed circuit boards, etc. Works like a champ! 🥊 POW!

I was skeptical about these speakers. I also ignore the marketing hype from the manufacture.
Let's face it the majority of Yamaha's market is not audiophiles. That being said I heard these at my friends house with Parasound Amp and preamp.
These speakers sound unbelievable!!!! I own Wilson, Dynaudio Elac and B&W 805N .
This is not a comparison. If you are interested in these I would recommend finding a dealer that would allow you to take these home for a listen. The price tag seems high because they are Yamaha. Once again In my opinion and about three other of my friends these speakers sound fantastic.
