” he sonic results are impressive. From the midbass on up, the $24,300 Carmel 2 sounds more similar to the $42,800 Hailey 1.2, in terms of overall resolution, than it does to the Carmel 1. Yes, the much larger, 3-way Hailey is a better performing speaker on the whole—as well it should be (it’s dynamically more robust, has greater weight and bass extension, and comes across as more complete from top to bottom), but the Carmel 2’s reproduction of detail, dynamic coherence, and soundstage openness—within the two speakers’ overlapping frequency range—come closer to the Hailey’s performance than I expected. The new YG drivers and crossover really do make a substantial difference. The sonic “family resemblance” between the two models is now more apparent.”
