Our Reference range offers the very best that can be achieved in accuracy and musicality. We are honored that these models are some of the most awarded loudspeakers in the world. They combine advanced materials with cutting edge science and engineering. Designed without compromise, their singular aim is transporting listeners into the heart of the music. Vantage 3 delivers the life-like, natural sound which is the hallmark of YG, combined with an effortless sense of scale which is surprising for its compact size. It shares many of the same technologies as the reference XV and Sonja models and bridges the gap between Carmel and Hailey: a compact design which still retains the additional scale and bass depth of a three-way speaker. Vantage 3 is accurate, tuneful and enjoyable with all genres of music. The Reference speakers are structured from high-grade aerospace aluminum, machined in-house to an incredible precision. They are meticulously hand-built by experts in our Colorado and Cambridge workshops. The Reference 3 models include new technologies and design innovations based on novel theoretical models, detailed multi-domain simulations and thousands of hours of listening. The end result: loudspeakers which convey every nuance of emotion, each musical cue from the tiniest micro-detail to the visceral impact of the most thunderous crescendo. An entirely new, hybrid Lattice tweeter uses a novel airframe in a specially-selected aerospace alloy, machined by YG Acoustics. It delivers exceptionally low distortion over a huge bandwidth, with wide angular dispersion to support a large sweet-spot. The dual 18 cm (7.25”) midrange and 22 cm (8.75”) bass drivers use advanced motors with extremely powerful magnets, driving YG proprietary aluminum cones to deliver industry-leading performance. Groundbreaking, third-generation Ultracoherent crossovers apply a deep understanding from simula-tion to deliver performance never before possible.
