Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

I remember I had an Asian girlfriend who was viciously trying to convince me that I was the best man in the world. She was 23 and I, listening her, was experiencing the incredible boredom...

Anyhow, Keith, although I am not a big fun of Alpha-type of speakers but I think there are some extra room for improvement in the Alphas that you might take under consideration.

Their web site claims Alpha is 98dB sensitive that is the sensitivity of that bass dipole horn. It means that the horns, the MF and the tweeters are padded ~10dB down… Well, you might tray to play with it. If I were you I would try to drive the Alpha’s MF and tweeters with own single stage tube amp of a couple watts. You might use my 6E5P tube or any similar tubes that have a few watts on plate, over 2-3V bias and has sound that persuades you.

With a single stage amp and a “low-turns fast-core” output transformer you should be able to make the Alpha to sound way more advanced then the do now. Do not forget also that when you do it you will have your LF amps freeing for pleasing the demands of your room, instead of pleasing the demands of the entire speaker. Consult with your Ralph, I’m sure he will assist you in that …. if you properly “sell” to him your objectives.

BTW, I have a question to ask: do the Cessaro use the stock TAD drivers, are they are modified in any ways, or perhaps the custom-made? (As the prices the they quote for this drivers are double and triple of the TAD retails prices)
