Romy Hi, Raplh uses a 300b push pull, but the power supplies are massive, parts alone 15K Euros, each channel has a separate supply, the pre-amp again two massive power supplies , he prefers to use eight of the horn loaded bass bins, although I know he admires a friends system, where the bass is stacked and the horn forms part of the wall . He uses TAD drivers, as to tone, a piano sounds like a piano, a trumpet like a trumpet, there is no artifice . Ralph listened to and measured every driver available and he told me that he does enjoy some of the character of the GOTO for example, but when measured their specification is often far from the stated, also each driver varies from the next , Ralph sits about 6 metres away, his room is big enough to sit further away, not sure about the upper bass, compression coupled,conventional driver I believe, I can ask , when a customer buys the Gamma or any Cessaro speaker, Raplh sets up the system personally, Gamma's can take three or four days to install,measurement and by ear, each horn can be adjusted for rake and angle. I am not sure there is a US distributor as yet, I would value your opinion if you do get the opportunity to listen to the Gamma ,yours sincerely,Keith.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
