Title: Disappointed with mechanical construction and reliability
Product review: Yamaha website wouldn't let me submit a negative review.Speakers have been more trouble than they're worth. Only positives are better sound than Bose 151 and plastic masking covers included for painting.Wiring posts don't stay tight ... plastic nuts spin on metal posts ... one post eventually broke.Mounting brackets are flimsy, and plastic mounting screws don't stay tight ... eventually changed to normal hardware.Purchased Jul-2009 ... only used 2 full summers ... otherwise stored indoors ... one speaker quit Jul-2012, one year out of warranty.Not worth paying for repair. Hard to find model number on Yamaha website, but when I did, DIY parts weren't available. Lucky to find a lone new speaker priced reasonably on ebay.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
