One Yorkville 4x10 cab, two combos. Lots of Yorkville PA cabs. At one point, I was a Yorkville dealer. Great stuff.

Exact same thing with me lol. I bought my first amp when I was 15 with paper route money! It was an Yorkville 200B combo and later got the 115B extension. I remember I upgraded because people kept telling me to go with Ampeg, Fender, other bigger brands. I have played mostly Ampeg for the last 18 years and now that I have this set of Yorkvilles I came to realize how much I under appreciated them. Quality stuff for sure.
I used a Yorkville B210 for years. Great cabinet. Very well made, it handled a lot of abuse.
My first "gigging amp" was a Yorkville 1x15 combo of the blue fur cube variety. Solid amp.
Yorkville/Traynor is outstanding stuff. I run a 100% Traynor rig, but seeing as how Yorkville is the same thing I wouldn't hesitate to grab those products too. 
I'm actually out in Courtright just outside Sarnia now. Haven't updated my profile in a few years haha
Nowt wrong with Yorkville/Traynor stuff. I’m glad our friend from Chatham has found something that pleases him. I keep threatening to set up a tour of the Yorkville facility just down the road in Pickering. I’ll do that in the new year.
Hey man you ever see one of these? Picked it up at Steve's music in London before Long and McQuade bought them out. Not sure what year it is but I'm guessing late 70's. Best 40 bucks I ever spent lol.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think bass gear branded as yorkville ARE the older cabs. Traynor is the brand they've been selling under for a while already. The Traynor branded bass gear is also excellent. I've used a few of their combos/cabs/heads
I'm currently using an Yorkville XC808 (8x8) with a GK 700rb and it kills. Great lows and mids and loud as hell, it's heavy but awesome.
Wait till after Christmas. By then there should be enough snow that you could dog sled it over here.
No cabs, but I have a Yorkville combo BLOC250B and a tube combo YBA-4 (both hideously heavy). My favorite amp is a Yorkville BLOC80B. If I have to loud-up I will use my v3 Fender Rumble 500.
I don't know why some people attach the stigma of low quality to Yorkville or Traynor products, I know that their gear is top shelf. I have owned their amps in the past... Rock Solid !! great tone, and their warranty is amazing.
My guitar player got this head as a throw in when he bought a used cab. He gave it to me. It doesnt get overly loud, but it sounds pretty good.
Cool looking Head. Definitely the same era as the power amp I posted.
Ugh, I want one of those 8x8 cabs SO BADLY. The heavy as hell part holds me back, but every time I've played through one of them it makes me all tingly inside.

Correct, all made in exact same place. They decided to separate the Traynor brand name for the music instrument amplification and the Yorkville for the PA gear. They make in small production runs and are subject at anytime to be out of stock of any particular item until next production run. It is my understanding they even design and manufacture their own shipping boxes so as to keep all in-house.
I have two of these for the PA. The air movement through the dual 1/4" jacks will extinguish a candle flame. It's a Y118S.
