I've had the Hailey 3s in my system for about 4 months and I'm really pleased. They replaced Hailey 2s and I'd describe them as significantly more refined, fuller sound, and way wider sweet spot with great off axis listenability.

Is there any change to the (tweeter) waveguide geometry from Series 2 to Series 3??

Yes, the new face plate has a new waveguide for the tweeter.

Is the faceplate replaced in a series 3 upgrade? Is a series 2 product that gets an upgrade to series 3 identical to new production?

Yes, you can replace the faceplate, the tweeter, the crossover and the binding posts in the full upgrade. I believe the Hailey 2 upgrade to version 3 is identical to new production, but you can call YG to verify.

Hi all,





I’ve been using the YG Acoustics Sonja 2.2i for a while now and have been very happy with its performance — the clarity, resolution, and overall balance really match my taste.





That said, I’m seriously considering upgrading to the 3.2 version. I understand the drivers and cabinet have been improved, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has actually made the switch.


• Was the difference clearly audible?


• What changed the most — dynamics, tone density, imaging?






Would really appreciate any insights from those with direct experience.





Thanks in advance!
