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

SOIX that sounds like anger for its own sake. I never said Magico or Rockport used ceramic drivers. Please reread the sentence you quote . "&" means and (in addition to), not intrinsic to.

Even if I needed writing lessons - focusing on the letter & not the spirit of the truths discussed simply dishonors you & all truths unapologetically no longer reached for.  The point here is not humiliation. That’s for those trying to hurt others in compensation for their own unresolved anxieties/neuroses.

Yes, genuine peace to you in finding positive truths for their own sake.

Where is the evidence that any one technology or material choice is superior such that YG is somehow shortchanging its customers by not employing that technology?  The only evidence has been that other brands have made changes more recently than has YG; nothing demonstrates that these changes surpass what YG offers.

I hardly think that reading promotional material and divining the attitude of distributors constitutes evidence of any sort.  You mistake what you find “all there easily obtainable in the public sphere” as verified information.

You mention Vivid, Magico, and others who take a superior approach.  Yet, they all differ in the design and material of their midrange drivers.  Are they to be criticized for not converging on the optimal design?  If you notice certain characteristics of design that correspond with the sound of particular speakers, that will at least be something to discuss, but, you have completely left out discussion of the sound.  To listeners like me, that is the only thing that ultimately matters.

The most important question for you @john1 is "why do you care so much"? The market will decide if YG is right or wrong and they will go quietly into that silent night.

Or not....

Your stance is very much like the threads bemoaning how expensive this or that thing is and why are people so foolish to waste their money. People do it because they can and it's their money.

Strangely, in this entire thread I have not seen any indication that you have listened to a YG speaker and found it lacking because of the midrange driver. You cite anecdotal evidence, but no real first hand experience.

It's an interesting quirk of human nature that some people get invested to the extreme in a cause that doesn't really affect them in any direct way, either positive or negative. The OP hasn't been forced to buy the speakers -- or even listen to them if he elects not to -- and has hundreds of other speaker brands to choose from for his own system, yet here we find him outraged at the apparent injustice of YG not updating their midrange driver as often as he thinks they should. 

Weird, but hardly the only example of the odd things that get some people moving.

Bingo!
