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...

the text at cessaro homepage says following :Auch das angewandte Magnetmaterial gehört zu dem Feinsten, was jemals im Lautsprecherbau verarbeitet wurde. Alnico-Magnete (finden heute aus Kostengründen kaum noch Anwendung) und im Superhochtonbereich ei...

Having visited High End last year, and spent a little more than 2 seconds in the Cessaro room, cold and sterile is not how I would describe the resultant sound at all. Just goes to show how we all seem to hear differently....
|
|
Romy,I think that kind of sound was intended and could have easily been changed by using different electronics. However, I apologize for throwing such an unreflected opinon into this forum and of course will listen to the Cessaro more carefully next ...

Mike Hi, prices and value well the new Gamut speaker was next door to us in Munich, Euros 95K it was unbelievably poor , Avantgarde charge how much for their large Trios yet the modified conventional drivers they use cost only a few bucks each, as to...

I was also in Munich this year. Cessaro had one of the best sounding systems at the Show, but I thought I could hear some droning bass from BLH. Of course it could also be the room, but somehow I doubt it - I have heard few (some even made myself) BL...

As you may remember, it was about David at the time.And you are correct, it was a mistake.You said, "I think the Cessaro folks shell recognize you as a quite valuable asset to explore US market."I'm curious as to what grounds you have for making such...

Romy just a quick post, after the Munich show I had the oppurtunity to spend a few hours listening to Ralph Krebs home system, the Cessaro Gamma's, super sound, the antithesis of almost everything I heard at the MOC, regards Keith....

Spent the weekend in Herne with Thomas Worschnick ( TW Acoustic )Thomas is a very nice guy and very generous with his time, his system is very fine, and the Cessaro speakers are marvellous, Thomas and Ralph are showing at the Munich High End show, wo...

Forgot to mention that all the cessaro speakers are completely upgradeable, you do not have to sell your old speakers just buy the extra parts that turn an Alpha into a Beta, bets into the Gamma etc, I think the only part that is 'different' is the s...

Sorry my post did sound like marketing speil, don't know much about the Cessaro bass horns, I believe they are a back loaded, 8 bass units with the Gamma four with the Beta, I will try and educate myself further and report back when I have heard the...

Coops, Merlin
It looks you are familiar with 703 driver’s sound. Any thoughts that you find would be worth to share? I do not think that by listening this driver it would be possible to distinct the sound of Neodymium from sound of cobalt. Still, in...

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...

We should have our new Cessaro Betas by the time of your visit, I might even be able to give you a lift up to Kevin if we can synchronise timetables.Keith....

I don't think they are deaf, but honestly, you are the first who writes that this Cessaro Horn room was one of the best at show.I guess, you are the Deaf one, I know another one in Germany who writes very important messages =) and he is deaf in one e...

I’m glad you talk about geometry, but to respond to this I have to refer to other brands. I will only talk about facts and hope it’s not offending anybody.My basic point is: the flare rate has to be coherent right from the entrance of phase plugs. In...

de Charlus,I don't think that you are taking the posts the way that they were meant.Your initial post started with a collection of what you consider to be the finest drivers for specific tasks. That is just fine and you may well be correct.The real j...

It must sound better than that. I bet the camera was not sophisticated enough to catch this technicolor sound..... or the recordings they played were unfortunate. Usually with this kind of installation pop, rock sounds pretty good and positively hon...

I have thought many times about trying to have an Audio System like Macondo Horn Loudspeaker System and if I could get good result then I will demo it in munich high end show.this is a big project for me because I am not expert and I have no DIY expe...

Well, it is always difficult to me to deal with audio people because any expressing any abstract notion in front of them those enslaved people perceived as a preamble to some kind of “deliverable good” and the sick audiophile imagination has already ...

Thanks for input! This is the kind of information I am looking for. My feeling is one driver can't do it all. But audio reviews say this Cube Audio driver is revolutionary and finally we can have it all. As it meets the criteria of no crossover to sc...

[quote user="de charlus"]As for Hi-Fi, a few recommendations would be; Walrus Audio, Riverside Hi-Fi, The Listening Rooms, Audio Lounge and Classic Hi-Fi in Finsbury Park for all things valve, horn and analogue.[/quote] Hm, I have absolutely no inter...

[quote user="coops"]Romy are there any good commercially available horns that sre any good? What about AvantGarde I heard their Trio's recently, how far away are there from being good/ thanks Keith.[/quote] Keith, please do not take it personally. Yo...

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...
|
|
Sorry Romy. Which loudspeaker are we talking about? Do you have a picture at all?
As for the Cessaro mod, it didn't sound very different to me - certainly not worth the effort. I'd be interested to know where they crossover to the ET-703. The Alph...

[quote user="coops"]Romy will you visit next years CES ,2008? Regards Keith.[/quote]What of your Cessaro will be showing in there? Will it be Gamma? If you thinking to do it then who is your US distributor? Are you planning to fish one at/after the s...

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

Romy Hi, I completely understand your feelings towards the Hi-Fi trade and reviewers , I now ( since I started to represent cessaro ) grasp how the system works and it is often not a particulary noble or honest world , all I want is a dec...

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 Park )we compared the a...

I have long followed posts in this forum and wondered what the ultimate horn system sounds like. I have always liked certain attributes about the horn systems I have heard (Trios, Cessaro, Acapella, Altec, the usual suspects) but never to the point ...
