What I meant to say that both speakers are so so different sounding that you cannot compare them.
There arent enough words for me to express how much I believe that YG is better than the Avantguarde.
I have heard YG Acoustics in two several occasions and for quite a bit. The big Anat and their middle in line speaker.

I have heard Avantgardes many times, almost all their models, in domestic environments - in shows etc.

The YG is much more accurate, much more revealing and a better speaker overall by a very WIDE margin IMHO.

Actually I consider Avantgardes, bad designs. By bad I mean, audible frequency ranges, coloured sound (different from what is written in the source material), and annoying.

If "High End" or "High Fidelity" if you like is about accurately reproducing the recorded material, cause this is what its all about, then the Avantgarde doesnt stand a chance next to the YG.

If someone wants to "prefer" the Avantgarde its his personal opinion, but "preferences" have nothing to do with high fidelity.

IHMO,

Speaker measurements tell 90% of what a speak is! Try to look around for those! IMHO
Philefreak I didnt talk about any preference, I talked about things that can be MEASURED. And yes, absolute measurements should be your reference if you want to listen to a "high fidelity" sound. Otherwise you listen what YOU prefer, which i respect with my whole heart but dont call it high fidelity when you have a frequency response like mountain everest, and a step response to laugh at.

Its quite simple.
I m sorry, thought I was answering to sth addressed to me!

Happy listening!
