I have heard the YG Carmel at a show. It is a superb product. The scale of the the speaker belies its size, and rivals the sound output of YG's own larger models.
The version I heard was the one with the Scanspeak Revelator drivers. It would be interesting to hear the newer version with YG's proprietary drivers.
Used Carmel's also go for what I would consider (while unaffordable for me) a pretty good price. Magico's comparably sized speaker also has some good used prices on Audiogon.
Finally, I applaud YG and Magico for sticking to their guns on acoustic suspension designs. With proper amplification, you'd never think there was no vent on these speakers.
