The WX1 isn't sold here and I have no experience of them, but it seems that they are technically similar to the UX1 sold in the Japanese home market, ie a U1 with an X-braced backpost design. From what I read, the WX1 used to be the top model of Yamaha. I was just wondering if it would be better th...
