I have owned the top B&W, the penultimate Focal JMLabs with beryllium tweeters, the giant Dynaudio Temptations, and have seriously listened to top of the line Wilsons and the Magicos you mentioned. As noted by Joel, they are all superb. But they are all speakers. I do not consider YG's to be speakers but to be music transmitters. As an avocation I periodically conduct orchestras and therefore have a very real audio image in my mind of what exactly I should be hearing. The YG's remind me of what the orchestra sounds like when I conduct. They have actually brought tears to my eyes. The clarity and ensuing musical excitement are such that every time I listen to my system, I feel that I am hearing the speakers for the first time. I have never had that sensation.
