Y No YG ?

co93, 

This liveliness is one of the remarkable things about the YGs. If you just go by the quoted efficiency, you'd think you'll need a ton of power for them to even start singing. But with modest power, at modest volumes, they're already very lively and rich sounding.
And this is the reason why, no cabinet stuffing:

Hi Erik,

Well, I'm sure I can provide you a pair of suitable YG speakers, provided sufficient funds are given in exchange :) 

Good call on the CAT, BTW. I bet they'll sound great on the YGs.


cheers,

All,

We're dealers for YG, and have been doing it for the past 3 years. I do agree that the usual YG buyer does not frequent forums.
But I call bullsh*t on the "no reviewer buys them" thing.
By 2015, there were at least 12 reviewers worldwide who had purchased the review pair. By now, there's probably a lot more.

I also call bullcr*p on the "no soul" argument. YGs are utterly transparent. You put soulless electronics with them, and they'll be soulless. Most people walk into a room at a show, dislike the sound, and blame the biggest thing in the room, usually the speakers. 
If anybody cares to look at the mentions of our rooms with YG at the last LAAS show (2017), you'll read nothing but praise. Be it with solid state (D'Agostino Progression) or all tubes (Audio Research). 
Besides, how many manufacturers gets a writeup like this:

"YG Acoustics Sonja XV stands as the finest and by far the most accomplished loudspeaker I have yet heard, and by no small margin at that."
Chris Martens, HiFi+, who's certainly been around and heard plenty of other speakers.

We welcome everybody to come to our store and listen to the Sonja 2.2, with solid state or tubes, digital or analog. 

cheers,
Alex
