We are proud to announce that Vantage have been awarded the prestigious Stereo Sound Grand Prix 2020.

“The Hailey 2.2 shares more than a few sonic characteristics with the state-of-the-art Sonja XV. It is a terrifically revealing and musically expressive loudspeaker that is scaled perfectly—UK and European readers please take note—to deliver extraordinary results in moderately sized listening spaces. To hear them is to want them.”

We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded the prestigious Blue Note Award 2020 from Enjoy the Music.com.

Hailey 2.2 is my new reference speaker.
In my opinion, every high end manufacturer should buy a pair to see if they can exceed its reference-level musicality or match it for less money. It's that good.

We are happy to announce that The Products of the Year for 2020 includes the YG Hailey 2.2 in the Ultra-High-End Loudspeaker category.

The 2021 January issue of The Absolute Sound features Products of the Year. In this annual feature, writers pick the best of the best from components heard in 2020.

We are delighted to announce that Chris Martens has reviewed the Vantage in the September 2020 edition of The Absolute Sound.

They offer much of the sonic excellence of YG’s terrific Hailey 2.2 loudspeakers, but at just 70% of the Hailey 2.2’s price. What is more, in the right small-to-medium-sized rooms and played at sensible volume levels, sonic differences between the Hailey 2.2 and the Vantage become very difficult to discern. Vive la Vantage.

YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 review by HiFi+ Magazine’s Chris Martens. Like the XV and Sonja 2.2, the Hailey 2.2 conveys a sense of extraordinary sonic transparency, meaning the speaker will show you low-level transient, textural, and spatial details in recordings that you perhaps never knew existed.

We are delighted to announce that the Sonja 2.2 has been reviewed by Ruud Jonker in hifi.nl.

It is difficult to characterize the YG Acoustics Sonja 2.2 loudspeakers in a few words. Just think of naturalness, the complete transparency and a penetrating, tangible and super realistic rendering. It's about that perfectionist overall picture, which makes it seem like a classical ensemble or any artist or band is really in front of you.

Carmel 2 was reviewed by HiFi & Records in a wonderful and in-depth feature.

The article features the red version of Carmel 2 and discusses the worldwide impact of this cleverly designed compact speaker. YG Acoustics was able to translate a short quote into English.

The reviewer writes: "…the Carmel 2 allows for a more detailed presentation of the instruments. Other speakers can also portray a saxophone, but with the YG a real 3D impression is created, which allows for a high degree of playback-realism – expressive and impressive."
