YG Acoustics has introduced the reference floor-standing XX 3 loudspeakers in passive and active design. One or the other version is obtained by replacing the base of the speaker and adding external DSP module with full commutation set.
The passive version of the YG Acoustics XX speaker systems includes an UltraCoherent crossover built on audiophile components and tuned using extensive multi-domain modeling.
The active version of the XX Live is equipped with Bel Canto Design amplifiers capable of providing audiophile amplification with a total power of 5.6 kW per speaker, complemented by first-class digital-to-analog converters and a DSP-based crossover.
The manufacturer promises incredible dynamics and musicality of both the passive and active versions of the XX speakers.
The standard finish is black or silver, but YG Acoustics can offer other colors upon order. Both versions of the YG Acoustics XX weigh 170 kilograms per speaker.
