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...

[quote user="rowuk"] 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 p...

The el`Ol’s comments about Cessaro did not find a proper electronics to drive this TAD made me to ask: what electronics Silbatone uses? It never was part of attention of anybody and regardless if Silbatone demonstrate god or bad sound it might be int...

[quote user="coops"]Romy Hi, I didn't particularly set out to 'demean' Avantgarde, they have a good business model, I don't believe it is a secret that they modify conventional drivers, I simply mean that the constituent parts of a Cessaro horn ...

There was some kind of hi-fi show in Gernany and it looks like Cessaro showed off a new version of Gamma. They look like change the frame. I really do not like what they look now. They look heavier with new frame and much less elegant. They looks lik...

[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,&...

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...

[quote user="Paul S"]Murat, this latest information from you has gotten you farther along than you might suppose at this time. From what you now say, it sounds like 6 months would be a minimum amount of time for you to spend getting a sense of the S...

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...

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...

Dear All,I wish to commence gathering the components and finding the craftsmen necessary for my DIY speaker project, but wished to bring my proposal before this forum in order to establish whether it's intrinsically worthy, and whether any simple imp...

[quote user="Paul S"]But doesn't putting the drivers on an inward-firing arc more or less shoot all the sound into a point, like the opposite of the Big Bang?[/quote]

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 ...

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...

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...

Hi Romy, I recently heard the smallest Cessaro and while I felt that the bass was not adequate for long term satisfaction it was also not a total disaster. From the midbass on up; however, the speaker is simply superb and one of the very best h...

Here another horny “client” – German company “Odeon”

Hi Romy Indeed you sound a little racist, but i think we all have our prejudice. Funny enough, i didnt recognize nor cared, spotted the horn with my eyes, went in and listened.Now, read this carefully: I listened to the system with closed eyes, for ...

jd, I cannot see any of PDF files, probably my current networks kills them.
I do not know the AK150 drivers. I know AK157, AK151 and K15/40. If they have significantly lower free-air resonance, at 30-35Hz then I am not sure that they would be ...

[quote user="Paul S"]
Everyone
wants to know what’s the best. The next question is, best for what, and it goes
on from there. Is it possible to lay out a significant context in a coherent, useable
format in an open forum? If you think so, then ...

Recently, I was fortunate enough to have an extended listening session with the Living Voice Vox Olympian outside of a show environment. Since said listening session took place upon a boat – moreover, a wooden-bodied boat – under what can only be sai...

[quote user="hagtech"]Romy, I don't know what it is, but something bothers me about the way the upper horn hangs. All other drivers are supported from bottom, that one from the top. This is just gut, but it doesn't seem right to me. ...
