Yes, they are diffusers. However, they are not all there, all of the time. I have to take a couple to work with me. Also, I have the 4x12 stack in the basement, which has a couple guitars downstairs at the time.

I just added a Convergent Audio Technology JL5 amp to my system. This amp works incredibly well with my Yvettes. If you are in the market for a new amp for the Yvettes, I highly recommend the JL5.

Here is a very enthusiastic video review of the Wilson Audio Specialties Yvette from Audio Excellence in Canada posted on February 8, 2020. Enjoy, if you have not seen this. Posting the link is a good excuse for reviving this thread.

Nearly, three years on, I am still thrilled with mine.

Enjoy.

Bob
