Interesting. Do you have a link or can tell me where on the Yamaha CI site I can read up on that?
Very unusual for an amp manufacture to 'deliberately' tune their output. The tonality is usually a result of the overall design of the amp. More inductance in the output, resulting in slightly rolled off highs (warm sounding). Etc.
It's definitely not on the CI site.
I used to think Yamaha sounded a bit thin, but it's no big deal when there's nothing to compare it with or if some kind of EQ is done.
