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)?

This is totally incorrect, in fact they made a great partnership to move forward with CAS on the engineering front:

The company just released a new crossover for the Sonja (I version) and have new products on the horizon that most know about if you talk to a dealer. Backing of a private equity fund is better than a normal audio manufacturer.
