Ascent - SoundStage! Ultra

Following up on his first impressions on the Ascent at Munich High End last year, Jason Thorpe tries out a pair of Ascents in his home system.

That near-ideal balance of ease and detail, the one we rarely get.

I sat there, mouth agape, as the Ascents spread out a semicircle of musicians, each perfectly locked in position. This was true midrange magic.

It’s the whole package, this speaker.

Tor and Descent - Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity

We are excited to announce that Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity have just done a review of both the Tor, and the Tor and Descent pairing.

The clarity, detail, and transparency of the musical presentation through the Tor was nothing short of excellent.

Even at loud volumes, the Descent subwoofer maintained its composure well, producing bass with excellent articulation and tautness.

Thanks to Tom Martin at The Absolute Sound for his superb video looking at the Talus loudspeakers, both by themselves and in combination with the Descent subwoofer.

Cairn - Hi-Fi News Ultimate Hi-Fi 2023

We are very pleased that Hi-Fi News listed the Cairn as one of their Outstanding Products in the Ultimate Hi-Fi 2023 guide.

YG Acoustics' small but beautifully formed Cairns are precise without ever being sterile, and have a weight, depth and finesse that belies their compact dimensions. They are little crackers!

Hailey 3 - Tone Audio

We are delighted to announce that Jeff Dorgay from Tone Audio Magazine has been listening to our new Hailey 3 speakers and he likes them.

Forget everything you think you know about these speakers - though they have similar physical shapes these all new models are a pinnacle of loudspeaker design

Summit - Twittering Machines

We would like to thank Michael Lavorgna at Twittering Machines for taking the time to review our Summit loudspeakers.

This experience, over weeks and months, allowed me into the soundworld of the Summit, which proved to be as vast, deep, richly detailed down to every last micro-movement, and as enticing as the music they reproduced.

Cairn - Tone Audio

Jeff Dorgay from Tone Audio spent some time with the Cairns from our Peaks series. We're very glad to hear he liked them as much as we do.

The YG Cairns offer and exceptional amount of performance for the most demanding music enthusiast, and so we are more than happy to award them an Exceptional Value Award for 2023.

Tor - The Absolute Sound

We are thrilled to announce Andrew Quint from The Absolute Sound has reviewed the Peaks Tor speakers and heartily recommends them.

..when it comes to the representation of the human voice—folk ballads, rock anthems, operatic arias, jazz standards…songs—these little guys are pretty special

Cairn - Hi-Fi News

We are delighted to announce that Andrew Everard and Paul Miller have reviewed the Cairn in the December 2022 issue of Hi Fi News, and the Cairn has received their "Outstanding Product" award.

They're precise without ever being clinical or sterile, and have a weight, depth and finesse that belies their compact dimensions. Few small standmounts will fill modestly proportioned rooms with such authority. They are little crackers!

SONJA 2.2𝑖 - The Absolute Sound

We are thrilled to report that the Sonja 2.2𝑖 has won the 2022 Golden Ear Award.

Imaging and soundstaging became more holographic and believable as a rendering of actual music-making in a physical space. The Sonja 2.2i is a wonderfully musical, accurate, and coherent full-range floorstander.

Vantage Live - The Absolute Sound

We are proud to report that Robert Hailey has reviewed the Vantage Live in the October 2022 issue of The Absolute Sound.

If you’ve ever put on a direct-to-disc LP and heard a sudden increase in that sense of presence, of the removal of “something” between you and the music, you have an idea of how Vantage Live sounds. The Vantage Live has a crystalline clarity, a dynamic verve, and an immediacy that are striking, much in the way a direct-to-disc LP exhibits those characteristics.

Sonja 2.3𝑖 - audiodrom.net

We are pleased to announce audiodrom.net has just reviewed our Sonja 2.3𝑖.

I absolutely fell in love with the double bass through the YG, mainly because under their command it was a truly acoustic instrument, without euphonic amplification, without any added audiophile candy, and without the – often attractive – super tightness. It was very real, and I dare say it was the most faithful (not to say the most attractive) playback of a double bass I have ever heard through any audio system.
