Hi YG enthusiastis,
as I was on my journey to find MY dream-loudspeaker, in my primary listening room. I did a lot of research and listening sesssions the last 8 months.
My shortlist vendors where: Rockport, Magico, Raidho, TAD, Kharma and YG Acoustics (went away from any kind of boutique manufactur). Tested YG as last testing objects.
One of my dealers here in north-germany had also quiet a good range: YG Peaks Descent / Carmel 3 / Hailey 3 / brand-new Sonja 3.2. As I’ve heard many redicilous good speakers in all kind of ranges, including DIY-High End - I was completly shocked about this tiny-shiny Carmel 3.
The listening room was not small at all, but those Carmel 3 sound so damn impressive, that I said okay, now I need to listen to Hailey (Sonja out of my reach). Wow I was shocked, in direct comparison with the Carmel 3, Hailey 3 was not even close FOR MY EARS!
My dealer (he also had Wilson Audio Alexxa V in the same room
was smileying and said:
yoop, I’d the same first impression, those new Carmel 3 are playing in their own League and I wish more serious audiophiles wouldn’t just look at speaker size and make their decisions, prior to listening!
Long story short: YG Acoustics Carmel 3 in bronce with custom milling ordered and will receive them this month.
My dream-speaker jorney ended, at least for current home
Listening and electronic combination will follow soon. My new speaker cables have been delivered already: Audio Argento Flow 4m (of course used
).
Anyone who has a chance to listen them in proper rooms, go for it! Also pay attention to AMP they use…
