CES 2012 Coverage

January 15, 2012
The YG Acoustics Room

Yoav Geva brought along his Anat III Signature loudspeakers ($119,00) to CES and paired them with components from Tenor. Those are the Tenor 350 M monoblocks in the center ($100,000/pair). Not shown is the Tenor Line 1 preamplifier ($75,000). Playback was all digital. The four piece dCS Scarlatti stack (together, $80,000) was supplemented with a Bryston BDP-1 digital player ($2195) (not shown).

In the anteroom, both the Carmel ($18,000) and Kipod II Signature loudspeakers were being demoed, this time with a Veloce Platino Series LS-1 line stage ($18,000) and Krell Evolution 402e amplifiers ($18,000 each).

Playback was again all digital with a dCS Puccini SACD player ($19,999) and Puccini U-Clock ($5999), as well as a Debussy DAC ($10,999) and Bryston BDP-1 digital player ($2195).

YG Acoustic speakers continue to be among my favorites, though you do need to have a modern decor for them to fit in easily. Of course, if you have a dedicated listening room, the high-tech look is not an issue. What I find so compelling is the depth and width of the soundstage, and the high frequency extension which does not call attention to itself.
