Product description
Yamaha's flagship: a big three-way bookshelf whose tweeter, midrange dome and 12-inch woofer are all formed from Zylon, a fibre stiffer than aramid that took the company years to learn to shape. One material across every driver gives the whole speaker a single voice, in a heavily damped cabinet built with Yamaha's piano-making woodwork. Sold as a pair, with matching stands.
