yamaha like a lot of japanese companies, sells one set of products in japan, one set in europe and one set in the US
now the trope always is that typical 19 x 19 equipment does not sell well in japan because they dont live in 6 bed 4 car McMansions like we have here
and although many of us in the west love to think that this is the 'norm', lets not kid ourselves
people are learning to live with less, in smaller places
that's just the way things are
this isnt unusual.... the typical 2 bed, 1 garage apartment is typically $500k here
if you live in a top 10 city then this isnt surprising
and then you would have to ask yourself why china seems to love small box hifi - they dont all live in freestand houses
again this isnt the norm
and so what justifies a 10kg box like the above which is largely full of air? it doesnt actually do that much - in fact one could find a Chinese class d that does this and probably more with better specs... that i can hold in the palm of my hand.
