I have no idea who he is but I thought that this might be interesting in context of this thread. It is a Hong Kong guy who replaces his looks like Avalon Eidolon with some kind of 3-way Cessaro. It looks as he uses 833 amp. I do not know a lot about ...

Oliver,
It might be anything including electricity. Generally compression drivers are very much vulnerable to the electricity problems, muck more than convectional drivers. Let pretend that distortions in powers lines are responsible for worsening o...

Oliver , this probably isn't the correct forum for this discussion, but there were more compromises invloved last year, the choice of pre/power amps wasn't made by us, the Allnics this year were superb. Rooms at shows &n...

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 , add up to a far hi...

Thanks, Brad, interesting feedback about the Cessaro.
It hard to look at bass within the show’s hotel rooms but since Cessaro use “closed bottom” topology for their LF solution it always, at lest in my mind, will be a room for improvement in Cessaro...

Cessaro won't be in Canada will they, Romy how do you imagine they sound?...

Romy Hi, I just didn't want you to think that i was just another hifi dealer , I just really liked the speakers, re the Allnics innards I will forward your question to Ralph at Cessaro he is the international distributor, I do k...

I would write to Cessaro. prices for the big systems vary according to the type and number of bass horns, to give you an idea the Liszts we have here , have a suggested retail price of Euros 120k, Gammas would be at least twice that again depending ...

romyregarding the quality of the cessaro speaker u may be right. regarding the price : the whole thing would be better, if the owner would not be so ambitious, to get rich quick, and ask a decent price. the price he is asking is...

I wonder if anyone recognizes the drivers of the Cessaro Horn Acoustics? I thought that I know all of them but looking at Cessaro’s compression driver I have no idea what it is and I feel that my ego severally hurts. The pictures on the Cessaro site ...
|
|
Ralph and Thomas are friends there would have been no price premium for the field coil option, they would have listened to both versions of the driver and made a decision on sound alone, I take your point though of an old technology resur...

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...

Romy wroteStill, somebody Armen reports that Cessaro with $2K TAD driver were compatible to Silbaone… so what the purpose to pay more than $700 for a pair of JBL 2440?
I must say sound of Cessaro was far more sofisticated than Si...

I understand they still use TAD 703 and 4001. The 11" is from Supravox. No idea about the bass drivers. I liked this Cessaro demo much better than in previous years. ...

Cessaro ALPHA:
TAD TD-4001 2" driver on tractrix horn with 56cm bell (approximately 250Hz). TAD claims response from 600-20KHz. Given that the midbass is essentially a direct radiator (theref...

Keith,
Interesting. Are you sure there are first order slopes on your speakers? Having played with those drivers I cannot see how it can be done. Or are you just talking of the electrical slope on the 4001?...
|
|
Hi Romy,
I think so. They look the same from the photos and descriptions.
I ran across that driver earlier today and remembered this thread with the questions about the Cessaro's..
seems to me they are just using run of the mill TADs... so those...

Oh my god!I just saw a report about the last Highend and realized Cessaro was already present, that was the room I entered because of my interest in the KR monster triodes, but ran out after two seconds. Cold, sterile, and not 100% fre...

Cessaro will be playing the Beta's at the Milan show in Septemeber and the full Gamma system at next years Munich show, the room this year was ok, there was a bass resonance in the room that forced us to keep the volume relatively low , you should ha...

Well, it was not trick question; I thought initially that they were TADs. However, TAD uses Alnico7, Alnico 5 and Neodymium magnets not the cobalt magnet. The TADs drivers do not cost €4K but rather €1.5K. I never heard TAD use Samarium-Cobalt ...

If you ask me the compression drivers is like the jbl 2420/2470 design only with an other back chamber. And the low freq driver really makes me think of an old alnico driver of jbl 2220A http://www.lansingheritage.org/images/jbl/specs/pro-comp/2420/p...

Paul S,Cessaro use plate amplifiers in theirs "bass horns". I do not know if they are made by Hypex (I think I already saw "Made in Poland" in one of theirs amplifiers) but if you find someone around with a Cessaro you could experience it.EDIT: a bet...

Good news for audiophiles Cessaro new speaker is active and all Components like DAC DSP Pre and Power are in the new cessaro ported DSP loudspeaker.You just need a transport like cheap LG Samsung to play Ultra high end Sound ??https://www.cessaro.de/...

Hello,I'm just registered here.I'm looking around for more detailed specs about Cessaro 'Gamma II' and 'Omega I' but I barely found something. Since I'm not a prospective buyer just a curious I won't contact Cessaro asking for informations.The 'Gamma...

Very nice, Keith, thanks. The most interesting would be to access the “Absolute Tone” capacity of the Gamma. Frankly I feel that with TADs it should not be very too advanced as they are at BMS/TOA domain, only with a little TAD syntactic twist. Even ...
