Romy Hi, there is nothing to say really, I was trudging up the usual hifi route, ( B&W 800's usual high powered solid state amps ) I thought a turntable upgrade would be the last step! Went to GT Audio to listen to Thomas Woschnicks tur...

[quote user="ArmAlex"]The price is 167,000 Euro I was told. The material they used for bass cabinet at least looked like MDF. Sound was much better than any speaker I've heard in show, expect Cessaro which was wonderful. BTW Marten, Kharma, Focal, Ma...

I'm very inexperienced but I still try to observe things around me carefully. Here's what I'm getting at what can be potentially pretty good.. Well, all I can really say is I've been mostly interested in the design implementations of companies such a...

I did not see, thanks for pointing it out. As I said before Cessaro is
probably the most sensible company who makes horn loaded loudspeakers today and
I have comment on this Gamma model. This is a smaller version of Cessaro with new bass horn. It i...

[quote user="coops"]Romy Hi, I only represent Cessaro in the UK now because I honestly believe in them, I don't represent any other makes or manufacturers, Ralph introduced me to Allnic ( he had tracked down the designer Mr Par...

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 ...

[quote user="coops"]Ralph and Thomas are friends there would have been no price premium for the field coil option …[/quote]Considering that Cessaro claims that they pay for $500 worth TAD drivers (OEM) over $5000 then I might only imagine how much pr...

Thanks, the writing at:

[quote user="Merlin"] ... I often note that you describe TAD compression drivers as being not to your taste. Could you tell us which of their range of drive units you have direct experience of and on what horns? [/quote]
When I experimented wi...

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...

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...

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. ...

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...

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 found the Silbatone electronics was somewhere between the neutral sounding electronics Cessaro used and the super-warm electronics at the Anima room. About going away from tractrix: The Anima horn with the little paper cone driver looked more like ...

Romy Hi,re above, Cessaro will be at the Munich 'Hi-End' show in May with a pair of Beta horns ,four ways. Hopefully we can get a decent sound from the room,Munich is very pleasant in May should you fancy a trip.! Regards Keith....

I have re-read your post and your tone sugests that field coil drivers wi be used by manufacturers purely for their marketing appeal and not for any sonic improvement, Thomas Woschnick has just taken delivery of a pair of Cessaro Beta's which u...

Romy Hi, I just mean that instruments sound more real, through the Stahl-tek whether is is the decay of a high hat or the weight of a piano, 'presence' is the same I guess when the instrment just sounds more real, re the selling part I have been look...

I am not "working backwards" from a tweeter. I presently use Harbeth M40.1s, but having recently heard the Living Voice Vox Olympian and an Audio Tekne horn implementation of Ale Acoustics drivers, the experiences opened up new vistas of what is poss...

Ralph (Cessaro) is in the process of manufacturing his own compression drivers, I have no details as yet, I believe the diaphragms will be beryllium not made by TAD.Also new and ready for release ,although not shown at Munich are double skinned carb...

Good that I am on this side of the pond. Finally a chance to compare Martion and Cessaro in Munich in a month. Avantgarde are usually present in several rooms, but fortunately nobody is forced to enter....

OK, understood. If you wish to hear Cessaro, along with some interesting source components and amplification, then Purite Audio is the only place that I'm aware of, and I understand that it's set up quite a bit more like the Definitive Audio thing th...

Your audiophile buddies must be deaf stitch, the Cessaro room was easily the best at the show, although to be fair there wasn't much competition, Magico sounded as if the sound was being pushed into the speakers, YG wasn't bad, their sealed aluminiu...

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...
|
|
But what makes me more Cessaro biased is Cessaro's potential adjustability or it is tailorable to ones needs, where in case of Vox you have to listen to it "as it is" forever...

has anyone had a chance to peep into martion room? from some of the regular visitors of munich fair, i've heard that a sound quality in their room with their flagship system (4-way horns with 4 amps and active XO) was much much better than earlier ye...
