What are the contenders for the Best Amplifier(s) for YG Speakers?

[caesar]

When you say "Clinical" could be another word for neutral fast, and detailed? I have Pass Labs with my Carmels. I'd consider Pass on the warmer side of neutral. I haven't heard Audionet in quite some time but, it was impressive from what I recall.

That damn audio vocabulary, again - It was his language. I hate to use the word neutral, unless speaking of Spectral, because that may confuse things as well....

Maybe this will be more helpful: order of his preference of amps and yg speakers from least to most: burmester, audio net, MSB. The first 2 did not have enough warmth and did not sound as "organic"... Of course, doesn't mean that someone else can't be in hog heaven with those other amps.

Also, in catching up on my audio reading, I saw a press release that the Japanese parent company of luxman has taken over the brand's distribution in the USA. I wonder if prices will now go up or down...

That makes sense, so he likes the class A liquid flow, so he will like Luxman at lower budget, and Vitus at higher budget. Your Kraft too. Burms I understand, but Boulder and Spectral are not like that, nor are Berning Quadratures, though they might lack a bit in midbass on the YG if not managed carefully.

Luxman America's new direct distribution is currently in place. As you might expect by removing an entire level in the chain their retail prices have come down about 25% increasing their value and competitiveness significantly.

Which in the eyes of some silly audiophiles will make the brand sonically less as it is not priced enough.

The prettiest I have heard with YG was with Veloce lithio monos and preamp. I have also heard Burmester and Audionet (of course). Veloce's lack of internet presence makes me doubt they are still with us, so great pressure may be applied in negotiating used price.

What did you think of the Audionet combination with YG?

 

[x1992]

I can only be superficial and say is that tone of the midrange in the times I have heard YG with Audionet was too sterile for my taste.

Thus my recommendation, in this particular situation, of the D'Agostinos, whose midrange is beyond reproach!

I'd like to hear the Lux Class A/B m900 on Hailey's, for sure.
