YG Acoustics add in Stereophile

Koegz on 10-31-08 you posted a thread "rockport altair any informed opinions?"

and now you have just posted saying you own a pair wow! that was quick.

Did you buy a used pair or new, could you possibly go back to that thread and give more detailed information regarding your set-up and your thoughts.

Roypan, I have been wondering the same about the design so which is it, full range and two way with a sub.

royan i see you have the magico's V3, your telling me i have no lower end? i love guys like you who think they know all. i considered the M6's(a fantastic speaker) but the V3's did not meet the standard, in the end i went with the rockport altair. as for the bottom end, i do not use nor do i need a sub. the lower end is extremely tight and extremely deep. i suppose no ported speakers have any lower end. certainly not the alexandria's or the focal grande's also speakers considered. i know you need a sub with those V3's my 800d's had a better lower end. oh but wait your magico's arn't ported why would you need a sub? i am not knocking the V3's they are a great speaker for their range, but please don't tell me about bass, i'll put my set up against yours any day and just wipe the floor with you. "having said that, it sounds to me" that you are just jealius and you should be!

Physics are physics. A ported design like the Alter, will be apprx 24 db down from its reference efficiency point at 20Hz. Like it or not, that is how it goes. Whatever low bass you are hearing, is in your head not in the real world. In terms of the V3, you can ck online and see how low they actually go. They have 12db more output at 20Hz then the 4 time more expensive Alter. It is not all about size and gloss finish you know. But again, if you live in your head, that doesn’t really matter doesn’t it? I have nothing against your speakers, I heard them few times and thought that other then the silly side firing woofers, that sounds completely disengaged from the speakers, they were actually very pleasant.

I am using wolcott audio tube amps

I have owned the Temptation and evidence and the MBL 101 E I now own the YG Pros they blow everything else away.
