Well, didn't realize the photo was that large so had to redact some info.
I've owned a whole bunch of speakers and these have always intrigued me, they could be quite the jewels as I believe they'll be very transparent and honest.

Re: Just noticed... no love for Yamaha here???
I've been wondering if these would be an upgrade from my Harbeth 40.2 speakers.

I have this sweet A-S501 heading up the system in our bedroom. Great sounding unit. I've always loved Yamaha gear and had some other models in the past.

Upgrade? only you can decide that... but they'll definitely sound different. I have owned the 40.2 Anni. and even those were noticeably different from the standard 40.2's

Music direct? I was tempted to try them, but afraid i'd like em and be stuck with another pair of speakers...I'll wait til a used pair comes around.

Re: Just noticed... no love for Yamaha here???
I reached out to two dealers a little over a week ago to express interest in the speakers and confirm that they were dealers but neither got back to me
