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

Hmmmm, just thinking.  While researching Etsuro Urushi cartridges, I learned that as China has excellent porcelain, Japan has excellent lacquer products.  Japanese lacquer was strong enough to be used in Japanese armor.  It's not hard to believe that a thick coat of lacquer can change the vibration pattern of the speaker.

Can a vibration pattern affect the s/n of components, aka can the signal be increased (doubtful) or the noise reduced?  I do know that electrical components can react to vibrations, that's why we have vibration mitigating platforms and racks.  

That's all I got because s/n calculations are for now beyond my feeble mind.
