Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?...
To answer OPs question, absolutely not, far from it, do not fall for clever marketing, the least to can do is listen and decide for yourself.I did, I absolutely agree with the concept, active speakers when made properly are significantly better th... 
Unbelievable
Those who can swallow this kind of nonsense from Yamaha marketing people can go and buy  Machina Dynamica's Teleportation Tweak, it ranks the same :) http://www.machinadynamica.com/machina60.htm  
Unbelievable
@djones512Paint can affect sound in various ways but not S/N ratio. 
Unbelievable
Some comments can easily compete for award in utmost nonsense:" All six external surfaces of the enclosure have a glossy black piano finish created using the same dedicated paint, primer, and polishing processes used for Yamaha’s renowned grand p... 
Kii Three vs. actives with analog crossover
@georgehifiBeside Kii, did you hear any other active speakers, maybe some PSI Audio or ATCs?If so, did you notice the same sterile sound devoid of harmonics? 
Kii Three vs. actives with analog crossover
@b_limoRe: room modes, I will deal with them in other ways, it is not not the driving factor, I will not make selection of speakers based on their ability (or not) to deal with room modes through DSP.I am interested in educated opinions about di... 
Kii Three vs. actives with analog crossover
To clarify my question, I do not care about EQ, room modes, etc. I am interested to hear about experience with and opinions about 3-way speakers employing digital (DSP) active cross-over (examples being Kii Three and D&D8c) vs. 3-way speakers ... 
PSI Audio
Hi Kenjit,Would you mind elaborate a bit on what specifically you found unpleasant with PSI Audio speakers, and what model that was?Thank you,Sasha 
Bryston Announces NEW BDP-2 / BDA-2
BDA-1 and BDA-2 cannot be more different from each other than they are.The difference is absolutely enormous, much bigger than a difference between any amps in Bryston lineup from 4B SST to 28B SST.There is no single aspect of sound reproduction w... 
Calling ATC owners
I chose black because it can fit quite well in almost any decor, other colors are harder to incorporate anywhere. 
Help me choose an active crossover
Amfibius,Would you mind telling what DEQX model you had and what you found objectionable with that unit?It seems you got in the end XM44, how did that one fare in comparison to DEQX?Have you had any experience with Pass Labs XVR-1? 
what speaker to replace atc scm35
Give active ATCs in your price range a listen, active ones outperfrom passive ones significantly. 
6 channel volume controller?
Martykl,It is exactly what I want to do.And I am aware of DEQX, in fact I plan to use DEQX but with its digital output board, so that I can do DA conversion outside of it using higher grade DACs. From DACs I would then go into this multichannel vo... 
6 channel volume controller?
There is no really a 6 channel source, I am looking for a volume control in analog domain for my active speakers project, 3-way activated, thus 6 channels that need master volume control. 
6 channel volume controller?
Yes, Theta's six shooter would be great if Theta processor was not required.I need a device that will allow me to connect 6 balanced inputs and take out 6 attenuated balanced outputs, as simple as that.It may have more than a single set of 6 input...
