Y No YG ?

Totally respect above post. My experience has been different as I have less than 18 inches from wall to speaker and get a nice rich textured bass. My room is 25x15x9 and no trouble filling it out.  My dealer spent some time w setup but didn’t take long. Nothing I would consider lean w current setup. Decent toein as well although I know yg recommends not too much. Agree they need current. I run a SS amp 300watts/channel at 8 ohms. Perhaps this is a key for relatively inefficient ygs as well as components that pair well? I have never heard them w tubes...

Wow Magico A3 better than Carmel? 

And better then the Vivid Giya G4:

Too bad no measurements in the soundstage review.

As I remember it was the A3 that was put up against some Revel speakers and didn't fare as well both in measured performance or blind listening tests.

Also interesting is the fact such an incredibly hotly anticipated Magico product like the A3 never got a stereophile review.

I asked at stereophile why was so and got hints that something behind-the-scenes was making it a no-go.

I listen to the Revel many times, impressive at first, fatiguing shortly after, and hardly listenable on chamber music (I am a professional musician - violins are an instrument too ;)).  

Does YG lack in bass? I notice the 2.2 configs only have 1x 10 inch driver?
