From the
YG Web site's About Us:
"
Over the years, Geva developed all seven of YG Acoustics’ additional key technologies: Cabinet (2004), FocusedElimination (2007), ToroAir (2010), BilletCore (2011), ViseCoil (2015) and BilletDome (2016). In addition, he created all of YG Acoustics’ speaker models: the legacy Anat and Kipod and the current Sonja XV, Sonja 2, Hailey 2 and Carmel 2. Geva is the recipient of over 100 awards worldwide for his products and technologies.
In 2017, after 15 successful years at the helm of YG Acoustics, Geva decided to refocus solely on his true passion – speaker research and development. He sold YG Acoustics in a multi-million-dollar transaction and now remains on board as Chief Engineer under the leadership CEO David Komatz. Geva now dedicates all of his time to creating YG Acoustics’ future technological innovations. "
- Joachim Gerhard left Audio Physics - will just say for personal reasons. He returned to audio and offers the Canalis loudspeakers in collaboration with Allen Perkins. Have you heard of them?
- Franco Serblin left Sonus Faber when they were acquired by the McIntosh consortium. He started Franco Serblin Speakers and created two models before he passed in 2013. SF remains a going endeavor. How did Serblin's departure impact them?
- Jim Thiel passed in 2009; Theil Audio hung on until 2018 with Thiel's original designs discontinued in 2012.
- With forethought Dave Wilson positioned his son Darryl to take over WAS.
Pure speculation - this does not bode well for YG Acoustics. The CEO is a business man with, to my knowledge, no real background in audio. Will Yoav Geva, clearly a genius, start a new company? Will he stay in audio?
