In general I have found YG speakers to sound very good but according to my notes the Carmels in this set-up sounded shrill and too much hi-end energy.
As good as the PS Audio PWT may soundI own one, so I knowI stuck to vinyl. Listening to the same Satchmo recording of "St. James Infirmary" that I heard in the First Watt room, I ate up the beautiful midrange and gorgeous sound of the clarinet. Welcoming the next course, I was treated to a Dallas Symphony Orchestra LP of Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances. This recording, however, reduced the expected large orchestra to rather undernourished chamber proportions. It left me hungry for Reference Recordings' version. Finally, a recording of baroque music sounded a mite too alive for comfort as I first dove in. Once I determined that it wasn't going to bite, I noticed that it was very, very clean. If I continue with this gastronomical theme, I'll likely get my goose cooked, so it's best to thank Veloce for their generous helpings and move on. (JA tells me that the YG Carmels were sounding superb in the Synergistic room.)
Hum, I sat in there perhaps at the same time, or else the rep was playing that LP repeatedly. In my experience, this room was great sounding, definitely not shrill. I heard it with the PS Audio gear too and it sounded great all round. Not sure what parts to credit but that Amazon table sounded superb for sure.
