The Soavo-1 has been named European Floor-Standing Speaker 2007-

2008 by EISA. Noting that it has “an extremely elegant and stylish look,”

the EISA jury was impressed by the Soavo-1’s cabinet fashioned from

high quality materials, carved reflex port, aluminum tweeter support and

its exclusive Advanced-PMD metal diaphragms. In conclusion, they

praised the speaker’s “extremely high level of performance and an

authentically ‘Natural Sound’ in the Yamaha tradition.”

The prestigious EISA (European Imaging and Sound
Association) Awards are chosen by media
representatives from 18 European countries.
