I've heard the Soavo's at a local Yamaha dealer. A high end dealer no less. Unbelievable build and sound quality for a $4000.00 speaker. 4 grand right now at BHP camera online. These things are not a joke, they were designed specifically to take down the TADs. I heard them against the Rockport Arias. omg, and I am not kidding, very close in sound reproduction. WHO KNEW! Yamaha MUST be taking a loss on these, or, they are built by slaves. I bought em, and didn't need them!
TAD R-1's vs Yamaha Soavo NS-F901's ....
Have you all seen this video ?
They start off by playing some music on the TAD speakers and around 21 minutes into the video a guy comes on stage and puts his hand on top of the Yamaha speakers, letting you know that they switched to the Yamaha speakers.
They first play the first part of a song on the TAD speakers and when they play that SAME SONG on the Yamaha speakers, the Yamaha speakers clearly...sound better !!..
