YG Acoustics announces an exciting new series of loudspeakers… Peaks

The new Peaks series makes the renowned accuracy and musicality of YG loudspeakers accessible at a lower price point. What a great way to start off 2022!

The Peaks series includes five new speaker models plus a powered subwoofer, each performing at a new reference level for their price. They excel in any size room, across all genres of music, and are offered in high quality finishes to suit every style of home.

Throughout the Peaks development process, sound quality always came first. The Peaks models use YG's proprietary ForgeCore tweeters and our exceptional BilletCore drivers. These are mounted in thick aluminum front baffles which are precision machined in-house to a profile guided by detailed computational modeling.

The sealed cabinet bodies are inch-thick dense resin fiber, curved to exact tolerances in custom presses by experienced European workshops. They include advanced bracing and acoustic absorbers which eliminate cabinet resonances and reflections.

Innovative crossover topologies are optimized through complex simulation and countless hours of critical listening. These designs maximize efficiency and ensure the broadest possible compatibility with amplifiers. The Peaks crossovers use the highest quality components and are hand-built on circuit boards that YG machines in-house.

Through its unique combination of cutting-edge science and engineering, Peaks represents an approach with no compromises. Everything from the drivers, cabinets and crossovers, through to the veneer, lacquer and internal cabling has been carefully selected and modeled to deliver the most accurate, most musical performance possible.

Peaks speakers throw a massive soundstage, providing insight and detail yet retaining exceptional musicality and a natural sound that is never fatiguing. They provide holographic imaging across a very wide area, combined with purity, dynamics, and deep, authoritative bass.

We believe Peaks provides unsurpassed performance at anywhere near the price. We are incredibly proud to offer products that we love so much ourselves and we hope music lovers around the world will enjoy them as much as we do.

We are offering two stand-mounted models with optional stands for each, and three floor-standing models. An exceptional, powered subwoofer rounds out the series. The Peaks products are being introduced with three high quality finishes.
