Post Subject: Not so impressive.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 9/5/2015

I did not see, thanks for pointing it out. As I said before Cessaro is probably the most sensible company who makes horn loaded loudspeakers today and I have comment on this Gamma model. This is a smaller version of Cessaro with new bass horn. It is not known how the horn was made and what kind “help” is uses. Acoustically it looks like ~70Hz horn but I am sure then pushed it further. There are zillion ways to do it and it impossible to predict how it sound until the specific are known. My estimation is that Cessaro is probably balanced everything into one complete package and made the whole presentation for the system reasonable. Adains in context of limited expectation: TAD divers, PP amplification and retarded music.

Conceptually I would like to propose the new architecture as a failure in case the bass horns could not be mirrored. The configuration that they presented at the show have midbass exit in the middle between the horns – that is truly horrible decision and this configuration shall be imagine very restrained. If the whole packers cost $10K then this midbass v is OK but I think the cost of the new Cessaro set would be way north of 100s dollars and with this level of investment the proposed migbass topology I feel is unacceptable. It is not to mention that there is nothing in the system that does lower bass….
