Joe, I do appreciate that that invitation is open-ended and I might take advantage of it sometimes. Frankly I do not feel any specific temptations that I need to “drop everything” and to run to another side of the globe to audition the Silbatone. The...

I don't think Silbatone has any obligation to 'progress' a concept in the same way that an art gallery or museum has no obligation to modify or improve on its exhibits. They are just showing what is or rather what was.For what it's worth, I do think ...

.... to feed the interests of marketing whores of Joe Roberts types.....The Cat[/quote]... all that is based on High end Show Germany, Munich with the Silbatone demos (Joe Roberts, WE Horns...) there you can find all th...

Besides the single driver Aporia (which I haven't heard) I don't think Silbatone has made any speakers. So they don't 'employ' GIP drivers. I think GIP is a separate Japanese company who have just been invited to participate at these German show...

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 People Demo with them...

It looks like the Koreans brought some WE hors to Munich
show again, this time with own MOSFET electronics. Oh, my God, where is the ever-presented
and ever-running his mouth Joe Roberts with his stupid assurances that there is nothing

Looking at the pictures of CES I came across a new Seoul-based company Silbatone Acoustics that show off a new speaker “APORIA” in Vegas. It is a back-loaded Manger.
What I read the company philosophy I was not pleased.

Romy:This is your lucky day! The owner of Silbatone Acoustics wants to invite you to Korea as his personal guest. Pick a date in March. You pay the plane ticket and he will pick up all accommodations and entertainment.You can hear the Aporia versus t...

Mani, BTW, if Silbatone-pimping Joe Roberts showed up in here then it had to be the Aporia speakers with the back-loaded single Manger were presented in the show. Why would Silbatone otherwise to drag to the show that big and expensive mastodon...

"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. I like that Silbatone was trying to demonstrate to the "Wilson Audio" crowd that vintage horns can surpass the latest mu...

Silbatone used a WE horn to play in mono and a pair of their own horn cabinets for 2-channel.The very cinema sound reinforcement looking horn was, I was told, a 16B. I will post some comments about the sound a bit later. ...

Glad they are well received I spent 3 days at the Munich show there were only two interesting rooms, the LV room (but for me the music was not something I enjoy, so I did find evaluation more difficult and shows are shows) and the star for me by some...

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 ...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"] Yeah, but plywood is cheap and the result is audibly noticeable. Baffle extensions were recommended for all of the Altec VOT cabinets too. Make a big improvement for cheap if you have the space.

Well, I see where this dialog is going and what the essence of the dialog is all about. I think it is the point where the sings are comprehensible -enough, at least on the subject of the Silbatone Acoustics new speakers. I told or implyed everything ...
|
|
First off, I will point out that neither Silbatone nor I claim or agree that the Aporia horn is a point source, because clearly it is not. The sound comes from two "areas" but even that is not a particularly useful notion.Although some do make that c...

Ok, I have found a “perfect” configuration for MF driver for my MiniMe: it is linear. I am sure that Silbatone folks and Trojan Condoms will sue me for copyright infringement but I think I will survive. It is sad that such a good dive is such a stupi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Now, a few predictions. Next year, if the Silbatone folks are no fool. then will discard the stupid Aporia and will come up with a new loudspeaker.

It was reported, and I do not know how accurate it is, that Silbatone did not use WE driver but used a Japanese replica by GIP.
