I am a bit missing. Those speakers are Silbatone or G.I.P?
The anointment that I head was these speakers are made by G.I.P

The G.I.P is known as driver maker, not t...

[quote user="Stitch"]Silbatone made a Demo with those Horns (the big ones)They said, it is one of three existing WE Horns, made 1935/36 (only mod is the addition of the tweeter you can see there). One Horn is made for 3500 Visitors, so we got a 7000 ...

First thing first. I was running under impression that the cost of Silbatone Aporia under $100K. I was looking where I might get this impression from. I am sure it was a comment at some CES blog but I was looking and was not able to found it. Most li...

[quote user="jeff1225"] …"whatever that means" is that most rooms at a trade show are not good. You know this Rommy, I've seen you write it in past posts. [/quote] Shure, Jeff, I know what most rooms, if not all, at a trade show are not suppose to be...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I wonder if any new interning horns ideas are present at CES. There is a post at the hi-fi-heroin site:

… that depicts a...

[quote user="manisandher"]I visited the room on six different occasions throughout Saturday and never once heard the Aporias playing. The reason that was being cited was that people wanted to listen to the WEs. Strange then that the Aporias should be...

It is nice that you report that they “sound fine compared to most of the crap at the show”, whatever it means. I was informed that Silbatone did not do anything original. They used Western Electric 594 and 597 drivers, both low voltage filed coils. ...

Ha! Looks like the next Silbatone......

Thanks, Guy. JC Morrison? I am not familiar with this character well. All that I know about him the he pop up usually around Joe Roberts and they perfume act of public saliva liking. It does not say anything about his amps, however, neither about his...

At CES there were Viagra-junkie sized power cords everywhere for $5000. Around our room were $10k and $20k speakers that sounded like a wet jukebox. It was the land of delusion.Value per topology is one way to measure but let's instead start with a p...

A site visitor sent me another video of Silbatone from the last show:
Another video of the room playing barbaric music. The only missing part from this video was Joe the Archeologist , naked but wearing a ballet skirt and j...

Joe,
I personally very much disagree with my own comment that for two people objectively assess a speaker would be possible ONLY with two parties are sitting in the same room and listening to the same installation. I did propose it as a “remedy” in ...

Romy, I am quite sure I know less about GIP then you... US rep? Not Joe Roberts, I hope. On the brochure they have web-site addresses, there are two of them: www.silbatoneacoustics.com and www.gip-laboratory.com. It is possible that those are two sep...

I would agree that the Lowther is not hard to beat but the question is where and in whose mind does this competition exist? Is the Lowther, Manger, or other full range single driver in competition with different multi-driver approaches, other single ...

Joe,
A few comments I need to make.
First, about the WE. I think it is a bit cheap, to bring to the table with me the arguments of the level that the “editor of the biggest and most influential magazine in the world, Stereo Sound, who can get...

Joe,
The “decoration” you described came from the fact that you wrote your message on MS Word that adds ugly formatting when you paste it into native HTML editors. I also write in Word and I uselessly before I unload my posts I paste my Word’s text ...

Romy,They had two rooms. The large room with the speakers posted above used the repo WE drivers by GIP. The other room had the vintage WE monitors that want down to 50 hz.BTW, the Silbatone brochure had both Silbatone and GIP products in it. There is...

I do not know what sound Silbatone demonstrated at the show. If it was not “accidently spectacular” (which sometimes happened at the shows) then it is irrelevant what it was. Conceptually Silbatone did not show anything new or stimulating that move ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] If the intention was to give people an experience of how large scale music/sound reproduction was or could have been 70 or 80 years ago, then the arrangement they chose was probably quite successful. A modern LF system wou...

Any Google hits this site gets from my post is a gift from me to The Home of the Cat. Can't imagine anybody searching "Silbatone & Penderecki"..a rather odd combination of terms stemming out of a unique event.
Or how about "Silbatone &...

Audio Federation have publish some images from the Silbatone room at CES, even it is in their new idiotic format of the “magazine” but they still visible.

What attracted me in the images is to see wh...

To summarize the thread, at least what is important - not the Robert’s cheap clownship, I have to admit that I spoke with a number of people, the people who are NOT the “exuberant morons” in my view, who went to CES and heard Silbatone Aporia. ...

As the writer of the above-referenced propaganda, I am pleased to once again tweak the whiskers of the cat.
First off, this is promotional material so what the heck do you expect? Every brochure offers a new benchmark in performance or it is not doi...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"]I thought I was quite clear about my evaluation program: Put it on. Play some music. Does it present a compelling emotional experience of musical enjoyment for me? If yes...GOOD! If no, maybe somebody else will like it. This...

The only reason I don't have a giant WE system is that I can't afford it and I don't have room. I sold all of my WE and Lansing field coil gear to my Silbatone friend back in 1989, because I know he would never sell it, he was putting together a ser...

[quote user="drdna"] It might also be instructive to have Joe visit Boston and listen to Romy's system, but I bet he would not go either. [/quote]
Probably, it would be instructive but I really do not want it to be as some kind of competition betwe...
