Do you love the new AG Restrictions on communicating with all sellers al the time?
Chuck makes a fundamental point about communication & about its absence being at a very bare minimum an irritant here.  One he absolutely does not like. Nor should he or most.  No one is asking for it to be free, just not counterproductively s... 
Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews?
BTW, YG is owned by a financial equity co. that restricts investment & takes out money in the way almost all equity co's do when they own audio firms.  No one ever copying YG's aluminum mid range except for low end companies is hardly nothing ... 
Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh
Jay makes a big point in this thread that he's always been kind to people he's met in person - oblivious to the fact he purposefully makes it so incredibly hard to do so.  No phone no. for an absolute start. Personal contact is the fundamental of ...

I was told most buyers prefer this & "don't mind".  Do they?  
Do you love the new AG Restrictions on communicating with all sellers al the time?
AG used to be better then eBay or Amazon. How can buyers not now go to competitor sites to get a substantially better chance of potential buyers expressing some interest in the first place - far more frequently leading to a sale? That they are far... 
Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh
It’s not at all clear what kind of value he’s offering albeit a colorful character. He substantially augments his profits by selling a cable he makes with everything & he apparently gives no opportunity to compare it with anything else & n...

Most (especially meaningful valid) replies & not one liners - are about magazine reviews, YG Acoustics as this was intended to be. YG represent an odd or even wierd lack of integrity indisputably unique to them as specifically stated. In a sem...

jonwolfpell mentions YG are, "lean, dry & analytical", the issue that typically results with aluminum drivers. Exactly. Some love that, G-d bless them, but its not generally considered the desired norm as is endlessly sticking with that soun...

It's harder to accept accolades from someone who has chosen not to own a pair, more so when that isn't explained. As to hearing them, that is difficult when there are relatively few dealers. They do not appear to sell in the quantities of their c...

Is this YG review an interesting newish low (or at least right down there)? No new midrange driver (& the original an eternally unchanged, mundane, aluminum one decades old) at this stratospheric, price point when all competitors have radicall... 
JBL's Marketing Blunder..
They went out of their way to try & do the opposite of what you're suggesting. These are not airheads or excessively glamorous or two dimensional. JBL tie to keep it real & reflective of the way people talk in real life.  They ere aiming f... 
Thumper’s Mother
UncleDemp references as fundamental a truth as there is. Disagreement in no way, shape or form should partake of contempt - because it hurts the contemptuous (in real time) even more then those they seek to hurt. Love derives from our most powerfu... 
Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address
Yes, the "dryness" referred to is exactly what I have a prob;em with as far as aluminum drivers, particularly cone midranges. It’s very, very difficult to tame tweeters made of it but it can be done, but not commonly. Bass drivers often work well ... 
Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address
To csmgolf - Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote: “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. That & the market hardly sorts out all issues evenly or in every ones interest. Why it might matter to someone who values progress in the a... 
Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address
I've never heard a major high end speaker company not improve when they change their mr drivers. Including Rockport, Magico etc. To not even try bothers me. Yes, I have problems with most aluminum midranges, although Vivid was far, far better then...
