I'm sorry, but I need that this aspect is clarified: is Yamaha 220 uncolored or inclined to emphasize treble frequencies?
better mids and leads needs, more burn in, bass is deep as anyone would need
Uncolored, the sound quality gets better after burn-in. Not hearing any sibilance.

I am very close to ordering these but have stalled to read more about the sibilance!
I'm curious if you tried playing back the tracks mentioned on the previous page?
I notice the same sibilance on the spirit pro. The yamaha does reveal it a smudge more on those tracks but both are raw in that regards. The yamaha is a bit brighter. After today I will be more definitive in regards to this.
I wouldn't be surprised if I see both in the fs thread so I can fund a pandora vi or crack spdbl hd650 combo.

Those tracks have sibilance on the 545 and the last one the snare drum is unpleasant/unlistenable. Not too concerning.
Just googled those Pandoras....they look awesome....I've not seen these before.....the driver design sounds mental!
Hi grizz, try Whiskey Lullaby on youtube, Brad voice is fine but Alison voice is a little weird due to the hiss.You can hear the hiss on all the words containing s and c.
I agree with what gelocks described above. Compared to a very bright open hp Roland RHA7 for digital piano, Yamaha hiss is annoying. The Roland also pickup all the details but with its more balanced high freq. sounds better for Alison voice and the hiss is less annoying.
Cheers
Alisons voice sounds good to me on the yamaha. It has less weight to it than the pro but is very transparent. The S's are not bothering me at all on her voice. Compared to the pro though her voice is a tiny bit less full but more dynamic. When she starts a word it is loud then quiet and I can hear the differences in volume when pronouncing words. The pro though is just as tranparent but more full on her voice with less dynamics. I had to play it over and over again to hear it. Her voice is more exciting on the yamaha a bit but on the pro its more seductive and warm with the higher mids of her run really clear. The yamaha is still realistic but a bit more sharp. The S (which is what I was supposed to listen for) are very clear and sound a little louder than the pro.
To me it is more than tolerable though. I wouldnt find it bothersome but overall if nitpicking would prefer the pro.
