I came to hear the YGs two years ago at CES. Previously I have heard what I regard as the best speaker ever at the RMAF-the LSA model 10 as resurrected by John Tucker from a never assembled DK Designs speaker. By CES they had decided that the aluminum cabinet was too expensive to make and to not market the speaker.
I saw in the YG's the same rigid cabinets and took a listen. Their room was just awful but nevertheless the Anats sounded quite good. The References, however, were clearly better. Nevertheless, I really could not listen through the room's acoustics. Had they not been so expensive and had I been able to sell my present speakers, I would have tried them although I probably would have limited myself to the Anats despite having a large room. I continue to think they have great potential and now have the advantage of being American made and without the inflated prices of European speakers caused by the quite weak US dollar.
