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.

The Japanese company SPEC CORPORATION has introduced a new integrated amplifier SPEC RSA-EX1000. The model uses a main board designed to minimize the length of the passage of musical signals from the volume control to the low-pass filter - according to the manufacturer, this preserves even the weakest signals and ensures a wealth of detail. Of course, the sound quality is also improved by reducing the inductance (coil effect) due to the minimization of internal wiring.
AURALIC has introduced the AQUILA X3 Streaming Media Processor - a new addition to the company's family of digital-to-analog audio products. The AQUILA X3 features a 14" touchscreen display, and a modular architecture with a huge number of upgrade options.
The flagship High End power amplifiers from Constellation Audio, the Statement Mono Amplifier and Statement Stereo Amplifier, use a whole clip of the company's innovations and provide outstanding sound quality.
Polish company Taga Harmony presented the Taga Harmony TCD-70T CD player, the output stage of which is implemented on two 6N2 tubes. Together with the reference chip of the ESS Technology SABRE ES9018 converter and a large-sized power supply based on a 100 W toroidal transformer, the model promises luxurious sound quality.
The Definitive Technology Demand D11 bookshelf speakers use a dual suspension system of the BDSS mid/low-frequency driver, in which the 165 mm polypropylene diffuser is attached to the basket not only along the outer edge. In this case, the second suspension in the center of the system connects the inner edge of the diffuser with the core, which contains a proprietary waveguide - this design significantly improves the linearity of the diffuser movement.
