Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

It seems ironic that the path to bringing the single-channel DSET/narrow band horn idea to market would invlove traditional marketing per se as much as the melding of evolved listening with cutting edge technology.  While there is rote work to be done in terms of actually implementing this gear, there is just as much work to be done in spreading the word through the right channels that this is the way to go and this is the stuff to have.  It seems like there are a few designers out there who either started out with enough capital or they endured privation long enough to emerge as +/- successful purveyors to the high-end.  I am thinking of Da Vinci, Shroder, FM Acoustics, First Sound, and there are others who simply do not offer entry level products.  This shows that it can be done.

But it had escaped my full attention, Romy, that you are just now moving into the final leg of this journey, yourself.  This might be another place to put some of those evolved LCR ideas to work.  I am waiting to see what shakes out in terms of a tube that can really swing some voltage and also sounds good.  Have you thought of cascode?  My own experience in this area is very limited, but it seems like there must be orders of magnitude more power than measurably necessary in order to keep compression drivers from making dynamic shifts.  This is a tall order with single stage  amplification.  Meanwhile, I would imagine that any marketing of the Cessaros would likely be done with off-the-shelf amps to showcase the exisitng design, and any DSET work would have to be done parallel to present marketing efforts.

Where are the well-heeled psychos when we need them?  I am amazed that any thoughtful, rich audio head case would not simply jump at the chance to get into this at this stage in order to take advantage of all the work you've already done, not to mention what actually amounts to saving huge sums of time and money in R&D.  Just think of the money already spent on extravagant junk...
