Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address

So, you’ve been here 18 years and have started four discussions, half of which are critical of YG.  Why?  What’s your beef with them?  Have you ever even heard YG speakers?  At least YG has the capability to design and manufacture their own drivers, which is more than all but a handful of other speaker manufacturers can say.  There’s little point to this and even less substance behind it to support anything other than you just being a YG hater for some unknown reason.  

I heard YG speakers in two separate rooms at AXPONA this year and felt that they stood out from the crowd. Maybe they got it right the first time around. 

??? For YG owners it must be refreshing not to have their 5 or 6 figure speaker  become obsolete a year or 2 after purchase. 

I listened to YG at Axpona a couple years ago paired with Gryphon and I heard nothing that made me think YG was special, but I don't put much stock in show demos. 

It is not as if YG is using aluminum drivers manufactured the same as lower end manufacturers of aluminum drivers.

Is anyone else producing them from a billet of aluminum? I don’t think so. They are stamped from aluminum sheets.

And it’s not as if their drivers are simple flat aluminum cones. The back of the cones use various raised areas designed to dampen resonances, standing waves, and add stiffness.

You can’t point to one specific technology, that you happen not to like, used in specific speakers, and claim that is a deficit that cannot be overcome.

Execution of the entire speaker system is much more important than any one technology used.

I also just did a pretty quick google search for reviews with measurements, and universally, they measure very well. Waterfall plots look very clean, especially in the midrange region.

I laughed out loud when I read the original post. I'm running a pair of Thiel CS6 speakers from 1996 and they hold up extremely well against most speakers I've heard that cost in the neighborhood of six figures. I haven't seen evidence that newer, exotic, and massively more expensive drivers are necessarily better. But they sure are a good reason to raise the price! As someone mentioned above, maybe YG got it right and they like the sound of their midrange driver. Maybe they've tried other materials and their current design sounds the best to them. Maybe the OP needs to get a life.

BTW, I've listened to YG speakers at 3 audio shows and I thought they sounded quite good.

What a weird post. It amazes me that someone can have such a nasty ax to grind for a particular manufacturer. Something fishy going on here.
