Have I gained the Yamaha Piano Craft Micro Component System (black components and black speakers) about a month ago 14. The system consists of two components: a small receiver with RDS function and an MP3 compatible CD player. When the transducer system are two 2-way bass reflex speaker in Yamaha piano black design with, including 2x4 m speaker cable. Are connected components; use the RCA cable. In addition to numerous functions, which I do not want to go into detail and can (which is beyond the scope) of the receiver with a 'Pure Direct "function is equipped as a special highlight. This function makes it possible that the signals of the CD player without interference on a direct path to the power amplifiers and speaker outputs are routed, which is a synonym for pure sound. The plant has an overall high quality and solid impression. Although this is 'only' a micro-component system, this is still true to the Yamaha claim equipped with high quality components. See also the speaker in black piano lacquer of high quality and elegant. The speakers should be placed at a distance of a few centimeters from the wall, otherwise the bass will be over-emphasized (the bass reflex port is on the back). Moreover, I recommend to reduce vibration between speaker cabinet and floor space to put small puck under the speakers. On music material takes the CD player and CDs normal MP-3 CDs. As for the sound, I was pleasantly surprised in every respect, and excited very quickly. Over the entire frequency range, the system played very dynamic, balanced and well resolved. For example, she brought the song 'Do not Cha' by the Pussycat Dolls so bulky, especially in the bass 'scooped' the PianoCraft quite a bit of 'oomph' over that I was downright enthusiastic. The plant is in my party room and is dimensioned for this more than adequate. The accompanying remote control offers a lot of functions. I think in this class of micro component systems other products have to work very hard to attract the PianoCraft E 410 passing. From me an absolute recommendation.
