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

Unless they can certify the plywood from the island of Hokkaido was trees planted by Hattori Hanzo I would pass.
The whole list of features is overdone hype especially

  • Carefully crafted laminated plywood enclosure made of Japanese white birch from the island of Hokkaido.

but I love how they finish the list with a simple  and very understated "frequency dividing network"
Hi,
marketing mixed with emotion and uniqueness.
Lacquer alone on the front baffle has an effect on sound, less deflections? But is black better? Had to be translated to an acoustic benefit apart from visual. I believe they sound good though.

@MC- I’m fairly certain, there was never any plywood, in any of Oni no Hanzō’s swords or spears.            Did they even have plywood, in Sixteenth Century Japan?
