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

On the surface, this appears to be a gross claim.  However a surprising number of individual aspects of the design of an audio component have an impact upon how that design sounds.

Materials used in the construction of a speaker cabinet can and do have an audible impact.  The finish of the cabinet can and does have an audible impact.  In fact, it was documented that different wood species and surface finishes did in fact have an affect the sonic qualities of the LS3/5a.

While something may have lost in translation, don't knock till you tried it so to speak.
