This is excellent news. The co. they're working with has announced they're working on new driver technologies which sounds promising. I'd like to see the midranges upgraded at least to the extent they did with their billetdome tweeters. I've never heard an aluminum midrange that was SOA. I wonder how theirs compare with ceramic mids. They're not sold in our largest city, Toronto in Canada where I live & have never exhibited at our annual audio show, so I & all I know can't comment on their quality.
All substantive R&D has ended at YG Acoustics?
With the departure of
Yoav Geva last year, there has been no announcement of any replacement as chief engineer or much evidence of there having been any R&D staff doing a fraction of the work he did (if any). The CEO has a background in property management (this expertise proclaimed on his bio on YG's site) & no technical credentials. An investment firm bought YG with no other audio assets. Is there any reason to assume they will not milk the co.with no investment or similar R&D to their work in the past (only rearranging what they've already done) in the same way the investment firm that once bought Krell did (before eventually leaving when the income stream dried up)?
