I agree with you soix. Losing the founder is a real confidence killer. and probably a value killer too. 
The YG’s sound coherent, throw a wide and deep sound stage, are hyper detailed, have deep punchy bass & are neutral if that’s your thing . Their latest generation of tweeters are smoother and better integrated. I didn’t like the first generaton which were a bit hot. Build quality is excellent. As for Raidho, they may have good drivers, yes. But build quality is very ordinary and they are WAY overpriced imho. They’re also boat anchors to try to sell (I know, i’ve tried). I’m with ebm, for my ears I found Magico offer better vaue overall and a more musical, engaging sound.

I have not heard any YG speakers, but I auditioned a couple Raidho monitors.   Best ribbon tweeter integration I've ever experienced (I don't know if I've ever liked another dynamic speaker with a ribbon tweeter because I always hear a discontinuity).
Detail was as advertised, super fine, but smooth.  And the monitors sounded big, and punched hard for their weight.
Problem was I found myself too aware of the lack of neutrality, the frequency dip they engineer in to their speakers for the further-seat-in-the-hall, smooth and rich effect.  I kept finding that tracks I know on many other speakers (more neutral) were less engaging, in particular things like drum cymbals and percussion became more recessed and lost snap and drive.
I believe the YG speakers are supposed to be more neutral, so it depends on what type of character you are looking for in a speaker.
(I also agree with the concerns voiced by soix).
