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

geoffkait,

"It’s the same company, glubby."
It is not. Katana has been Suzuki for decades.

Now, Katana and Hayabusa come from the same company, but thay is not SONY.
cd318,

"Those Sony's look like dream loudspeakers. One version of the SOTA."
They really are. Smaller model (SS-AR2, if I remember correctly) is great, too. Both are relatively small and unimposing and, at the same time, hard to find to audition or buy.

There was a used pair of a smaller model on audiogon not so long ago and that is about it. I was very tempted, but had no place to put them.
