    Joint event YG Acoustics and Vinarius

    Fantastic hi-fi and wine: Thursday 12th June

    We are delighted to announce that we will be welcoming Chris and George from Cas Audio, the distributors of YG Acoustics (more on both below), on Thursday 12th June.

    The day will be a showcase of some of YG speakers, and in particular two pairs from YG’s Reference series: the Hayley 3, brought to us especially for the event, and the Carmel 3.

    The Hayley 3 will be playing in our demo room (in good company with MOON’s 800 series of electronics) whilst the Carmel 3 will be on demonstration in the Conservatory, with the MOON 791 Network Player / Preamplifier and 761 Power Amplifier.

    From YG Peaks’ series, we will have the Ascent playing in the main shop whilst the Cairn stand mount speakers will be on display.

    We invite you to book your place for demonstrations of the Hayley 3. The demos will be running from 11am until 7pm, on the hour, and last about 45 minutes. As we are limiting numbers to four per demonstration, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible with your preferred time.

    Chris and George will be available at all times to answer all your questions.

    We did say it was a hi-fi and wine event…!

    We’re delighted to welcome back Matteo and Brian, representing Vinarius wine merchant. The boys are back with a fun wine blind tasting: it’s Italy V France… who will win? Scroll down for more details and to book your place: there will be two “matches”, one at 5.45pm and one at 7pm… Que le meilleur gagne 😜

    About your hosts

    YG loudspeakers bring together the very latest in science and technology. They are built from the highest performance materials, manufactured in-house to an unprecedented precision. They deliver exceptional measurements: huge frequency bandwidth, exceptional phase coherence, enormous dynamic range and vanishingly low distortion.

    More importantly, they provide the clearest of windows onto the performance. They communicate every nuance of emotion, every musical cue from the tiniest micro-detail through to the physical impact of the most thunderous crescendo.

    YG products combine cutting edge technology, world class computation modelling and the very best in precision engineering. Their highly sophisticated CNC machine shop allows YG to produce our own drivers and most other precision parts in-house: exceptionally rare in an age of outsourcing and mass production.

    The depth and breadth of their capabilities allows YG to produce speakers that are far more accurate than otherwise achievable, and the evolution of their products is driven by these ongoing technological advancements.
