Opinions on YG Carmels?


Last night my dealer delivered a pair of YG Carmels and set them up for a one-week trial. They were very sensitive to set-up, at first vocals (e.g. Diana Krall and Shirley Horn) sounding recessed and weak in the soundstage. Fine adjustment of toe-in cured that, but my preliminary assessment is mixed. Excellent detail and clarity (very clean sound), but overall tonal balance seems cooler, lighter and less involving compared to my PSB Platinum M2 monitors. I am using EMM Labs XDS1 cdp, Bryston amplification and Kimber Select cabling. As the week goes on, my opinion will evolve, but I would appreciate hearing about any other experiences with these speakers.

I don't know if the YGs are fully broken in, but they are demos which have been played in the shop. In the few hours I have had them at home, they seem to have improved. So I think they have a way to go before they fully bloom. By the way, I have begun to be very impressed. I played the Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances on RR which knocked my socks off.
