My Yvettes will be here for Christmas !! Dealer let me audition them in home for 4 weeks. I also auditioned Rockport Atria IIs in home for 4 weeks. I could not live with the beryllium tweeters in the Rockports. The soft dome in the Yvettes are smooth and did not burn my ears off, like the beryllium tweeter of the Rockports.
You do need power/current to drive either speaker. My Pass XA160.8s do so effortlessly.
It took me since Axpona 2016, to rebuild my system after being a Spectral owner for 20 years. The Yvettes are replacing 14 year old Avalon Opus speakers.
This will be my final system in my 31 year journey of chasing High End audio; unless I win a Large lottery. My wife laughs at me and says that I am lying. I swear, This is my final system. I could upgrade one of the phonostages though. Maybe ?
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
