Yg carmel 2 owners

hi @smodtactical,
I owned the Carmel 2s for about 3 years and absolutely loved them. My prior room was about 13 x 15.5 x 9 and they were a perfect fit, for me. I did pair them quite easily with a REL sub and then later with a JL Fathom 112v2. As mentioned above, they have significant headroom based on components and cabling - you will hear the differences and the benefits. I have run them with plenty of power, so that is always a consideration. We only parted ways as I moved to a larger room ~15x25x9 where I found the Hailey 2.2s fill out my new space that much better...

Zprr sweet man. Haileys must be awesone.

@erik_squires Sorry Erik did you say you like the S1 mk2 more than the carmel 2 ?

I've never heard the Carmel, but I do think the Magico S1 Mk II is a very very curious speaker. :)

Little chesty, needs gobs of power, and space.  A small but very demanding speaker with great imaging and a very very wide sweet spot, and a little chesty.

I think the A3 is significantly cheaper, no?  If so, totally worth considering instead.

A3 vs s1 mk2 would be a nice fight indeed. Id like to see yg carmel 2 in the mix.
