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,

"Why would you think I’m trying to entice you? Are you that stupid?"
Not at all. I did not think it was aimed at me at all. I thought that not-so-subtle reference to close contact was aimed at isochronism.

"Given what audiophiles do believe, is this really a surprising statement?"
I would like not to, and in general do not, believe in such claims. But I do run into a problem.

There is a product that sounds fine, any product but you could use these Yamaha speakers as an example. Someone designed and produced it way better than I could ever dream of. That person claims something this "outrageous" and I want to dismiss it. Well, if that person is just making things up, snake-oiling it, why on Earth does her/his product sound good then? She/he may know a thing or two about designing/making it that I do not.

So I give up beating the truth out of it. I give some benefit of the doubt to the designer/manufacturer and just use the product as intended. In the end, why would I even care if it is the paint or not?


Yes, from the record all the way to the speakers there is MUCH great engineering, designing and manufacturing that brings us the great sound we love and keep's us coming back for more!!
