Paul Hi, I don't consider myself a dealer, just an enthusiast, I just wanted to discover just what was possible with audio replay, Thomas Woschnicks system (whee i first heard the Alpha's ) was just more real more like real life than anything I had b...

[quote user="NBC"]Hi Romy, Since you have certain opinions on TAD/Beryllium sound, Im curious: 1) Which TAD drivers you evaluated (2001, 2002, 4001, 4002, 4003) ? 2) With what Fc horns? 3) With what horn materials? 4) With what Xovers? [/quote]Neil,&...

It is very easy to figure out acoustically. Feed the drivers and their crossover with a reference tone of fixed amplitude and fixed frequency, roughly in the middle of crossover point. Disconnect one of the drivers and measure the acoustic pressure e...

Personally, speculatively. It's my belief that one or one maker *shouldn't* have to wander too far past this range for practicality and morality...I can understand if some goodness can't be value developed easily (even then, there could be probl...

[quote user="coops"]Romy just a quick post, after the Munich show I had the oppurtunity to spend a few hours listening to Ralph Krebs home system, the Cessaro Gamma's, super sound, the antithesis of almost everything I heard at the MOC, regards Keith...

Koh,if time alignment is critical (in my world it is), the sources of the sound (the driver diaphragms) need to be aligned. A very long exponential horn and a short tractrix are not „impossible“ to align, but what reflective surfaces ftom the exp. ho...

Hello,Can you give me some ideas for a good room? Also, audio related ideas are always welcome too.The initial plan is a room with 5m H x 10m W x 14m D (about 16,5ft H x 33ft W x 46ft D). Solid floor, probably porcelain tile (chess floor style), and ...

Romy,Who replayed me was Mr. Shinichi Suzuki, "CEO & President of
G.I.P.Laboratory". A week later he replayed me again with total different information and then another time to say the second one have nothing to do with the 9700A System.A perso...

This is what the Cessaro sounded like last year:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvA43ym5cYo&feature=youtu.beI don't think he's "upgraded" his camera in the meantime.There's this other "local guy" doing video reports with reasonably good sound bu...

Going in circles is bad for your health. Just like every other thread on expensive gear, the name calling starts where the good reason stops.Regardless of how we calculate, 100K is artificial because there are people willing to pay it. It has NOTHIN...

The demonstration of the WE equipment was impressive as was looking closely at how these horns were constructed. The arrangement (originally it would have been mono) was to provide the audience seated both in the stalls or circle with an evenly bala...

I think the problem starts when we short circuit the process. It is easy enough to sell "the Best" of anything and still get mediocre results. If we are looking for a modular approach to DSET/speaker, then the results are also best guess because ther...

Coops, I less care about the attacks on me, I know that I am a pH-indicator of Moronity among audio freaks. So, if some specific idiots out there are not happy about me then… it is good for me. The higher we climb in mountains the stronger wind and l...

I do not want to go on tangent in this Cessaro Gammas thread, still what Merlin said deserves very much to be accented. I juts mention it once in here.
The first order on the bass units is NOT an “unacceptable compromise”. If your bass section, the ...

Here it is, where the Cessaro folks should look and learn. Their cousins: The Berlin-based Martion Company produces Orgon system. The Orgon design and implementation are erroneous in many ways, however the Orgon system is 4-way playback with active c...

Nice work; bravo Mike! With regard to improvements to the S2: Apparently Romy's prayer, one of them anyway, has been heard and would seem to have been answered; a diaphragm-centering guide has at last been added. As for the rest (other improveme...

Vasyachkin,
I have different view about “modifying products” as any product is always implying something very generic but I have my own needs. Probably not “modifying” but adopting would be better but it is not the subject in here.
If you read my s...

Dear N-set,I do not set out to copy Romy's speaker installation for a number of reasons, foremost among which is that I have not heard it. I'm sure that it sounds excellent in his room and with his ancillaries, but since mine are/will be different, I...

Romy,Thank you. Now that you mention it, perhaps 85% of the stateroom in question was indeed beneath the waterline, meaning that the potential for unruly resonances was perhaps less than I had at first assumed. The front and rear walls of the room we...

Hi Romy, OK ill give you an idea: 1. The Vox Olympian. When i first visited, they played gentle music and classic. I was paralyzed by its ability to accentuate details like the touch-sound of piano solos (keys, pedal, hammer, body-borne etc). Or emot...
