Okay, back to the YG!!
 The very powerful ASI driving the YG Sonja 2.2 with utter ease.  You don't need a giant amplifier to drive these top speakers. Mr. Kerry St. James, Senior Account Executive, with whom we had a long and very agreeable chat, has these at home and drives them with a 60W tube amp. A Wadax pre, PS Audio source.

The YG Acoustics Sonja 2.2 is the speaker for you if you value honesty, transparency, and true craftsmanship.
They are 100% whole range. They come in that rarified group of absolute top speakers. An end game transducer. Our number one of the show. Bravo YG Acoustics! Jacques is drooling even more than in Brussels last year. My poor friend. 97K he will have to save, he already has the right source and amps for them.

I also returned to the Daudio - Merging Nadac room.
Had a good conversation with Bert van der Wolf. I will visit him in his studio next year.   The surround sound was very immersive, enormously clear and transparent. Wonderful system, and in reach for mere mortals. The Daudio speakers go from 5K tot 20K, the amps (2x500W Ncore) cost 3499€. Daudio cables were used and are absolutely not expensive. This system goes in my personal top 3, together with Grimm Audio. Number one is YG Acoustics, but those retail for the price of a full surround set of Grimm or Daudio... It was a very nice audio day again, with Jacques!
