Amazed with Novus nv5 speaker system+soundboard. And this, only thru yotuube. Soundboard/vibrating feedback will be the next thing in DP. Probably a common thing in the next few years.

Spoke to a guy in Instagram, that already have the Clp 785. He said that even the 735, compared to 600 higher models, sounded a lot better because of the new recordings/sound system.

He said that it's more responsive than 685. Don't know about his piano skills to proper answer some questions. His emphasis was on the sound difference between the 600 x 700. It's a nice guy from HK that has the only picture of a 785 at home on Instagram... Truly speaking, we have to see a lot of reviews to confirm some suspicions. Lets wait, wait, wait, wait.. (laugh)

I doubt it. Roland released the LX 7xx at the end of 2018 and HP 7XX last year

You know, I’ve been trashing Yamaha about the so-called ‘improvements’ claimed for the CLP-7XX, but then I went and looked back all the way to the CLP480/585/685, and it seems like all of those use the same RGE, so all kidding aside, perhaps the RGE2 really is an improvement? Since it is 3 generations apart (about 9 years) from the 480; which I believe was the first model with RGE. Also, the fact that they felt it necessary to record new samples could be an indicator that some real changes have taken place; not to mention a new speaker configuration which Yamaha claims simulates the sound imaging of a grand piano. It remains to be confirmed, but if the CLP7XX sounds better than the previous generation (which already sounded fairly good) then that’s a good thing. I hope we get more hands-on reviews on the action, literally! (It’s literal because ‘hands’ need to be ‘on’ the keys for proper assessment; you get it?)

I’m more curious than anything at the time, but yes, I wouldn’t mind upgrading from my P-515, but it would have to be for more than just a pretty cabinet because my little truck (P-515) is already very good.
I’m also curious about how the new CLP-785 will compare to the NU1X; especially in the ‘sound’ department. You see, despite the NU1X only having four speakers, a lot of people preferred its ‘sound’ over the CLP-685; which has 7 speakers.

Yeah, NU1x, at least in the videos, sound more open.
Speaker Position? Same samples?

I don’t think it has to do with speaker position. The truth is there’s only so much that can be done with four speakers tucked into a relatively large cabinet.
The speaker positioning of the NU1X looks fairly common (two medium-sized speakers below, facing the knees, and two tweeters further up with a few ‘escapement‘ ports); really nothing fancy, so I remain mystified.
For some perspective, the CLP-380 has 8 speakers; two of which are placed on the top-back of the piano (left/right) facing the wall. The remaining speakers spread out through the rest of the cabinet. Call me old fashioned, but I truly believe that lots of speakers is the best approach for the upright cabinet form-factor in order for the sound to better ‘escape’ this naturally-occurring cavity.
The grand form-factor is optimal for sound propagation because there is less obstruction. Take, for instance, the N3X; the speakers are completely exposed and this allows for the sound to ‘breath’ uninterrupted and, shall I say, unobstructed.

Yes, the samples are newly recorded for the CLP-7XX. The shop in Rochester that I frequent said they’d be getting the 700s in September. I can’t wait to hear the Bösie!

Does the yamaha grandtouch action use long key sticks like kawai ca79/ca99? It's not a folded action like for example p515 or cp4?

Yamaha’s sticks are long indeed, but yes, they’re also tucked-in (folded). What truly matters is whether Yamaha’s tucked-in sticks perform as well as Kawai’s untucked sticks!
What I’m more concerned with is the weight of the GrandTouch sticks/action; I even heard someone say that the sticks weigh in at about 90 grams (at their heaviest); that is simply too heavy for my beaten up hands. They’ve seen better days, my hands.
The rumor is that the current iteration is lighter, but I will only believe this when someone goes and weighs it.

In the 775 preview bonners video, he said that in 700.series,the keys are easy to play near fallboard and the black keys are more balanced with white keys. Don't know if this is related to the length of the stick
