Yoav Geva Leaves YG Acoustics
YG Acoustics has announced the departure of founder and Chief Engineer, Yoav Geva.
Yoav Geva (pictured above) has left YG Acoustics, the loudspeaker manufacturer he founded in 2002.
In a Facebook post on Saturday evening (BST) YG Acoustics, based just outside of Denver, Colorado, announced the departure of its founder, Yoav Geva.
Geva launched YG Acoustics when he was just 24 years old and, over the years, developed all seven of YG Acoustics' key technologies: Cabinet (2004), FocusedElimination (2007), ToroAir (2010), BilletCore (2011), ViseCoil (2015) and BilletDome (2016). Additionally, he created all of YG Acoustics' speaker models to date: the legacy Anat and Kipod and the current Sonja XV, Sonja 2, Hailey 2 and Carmel 2 (stayed tuned for a review soon).
YG Acoustics CEO, David Komatz
Yoav Geva sold YG Acoustics in 2017 but stayed on has Chief Engineer with David Komatz as CEO. The company has continued to grow and now enjoys an extensive reach, distributing to nearly 50 countries.
The Facebook statement continues:
In addition to its eight unique key technologies, YG has a roadmap of innovations which will appear in future product releases.
Of the things planned, we are told that a line-up of more accessible speakers is on the horizon as well as advances in YG's statement model Sonja XV.
We wish both Yoav and YG Acoustics all the best for the future.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
