That’s as a result of the corporate’s Vantage 3 Live energetic loudspeaker system ($65,600/pair), which incorporates amplification by Bel Canto in addition to optimized DSP, a digital preamplifier, and a phono stage, is just about all-in-one.

The Vantage 3 Live incorporates three 700W amplifiers, one for every driver; every has been optimized for its explicit driver. The Vantage 3 Live even comes with its personal 25′ ST optical fiber cables which connect to the management module (under). That module sends alerts as much as 24/192 PCM, MQA and DSD through fiber-optic cabling. While the speaker is a Roon endpoint, it’s also possible to use Bel Canto’s Seek app, which is a reskinned model of MConnect.

Matthew Webster, YG Acoustics’ designer and CEO, integrated an all-new crossover, new hybrid lattice tweeter, and a brand new entrance baffle design with improved waveguard into YG’s former Reference 2 energetic loudspeaker. Owners of the Reference 2 can improve to Vantage 3 standing.

I used to be particularly impressed by the Vantage 3 Live’s midrange. The sound wasn’t good, nevertheless it had some hard-to-describe arresting qualities that held me and plenty of within the room in its spell.
