No part of the frequency range is easy to produce cheaply, but the 
top and bottom ends are especially difficult to reproduce without 
some design finesse. I'm not sure what our areas of agreement and 
disagreement are about this, but I'm by no means contradicting 
anything that anyone has reported about the Yamaha monitor. I'm only 
saying that its anemic specs, and the weak performance that they 
imply under certain conditions, do not necessarily also mean that 
they would sound so awful within these limitations. The bad sound is 
an empirical observation that was not predictable without listening. 
No one should be faulted because they didn't anticipate it. I'd love 
to get many more reviews of amps, both known and unknown, for member 
to discuss.
