Romy Hi, Ralph installs every pair of speakers ,I know that it can take a week or more to install and optimise the larger systems. There are plans for amplifcation , he is working closely with Mr Park of Allnic Audio. Mr Park has some...

Romy Hi, I would never presume to make such a claim, regarding active bass,I have heard quite a few systems now where the ( active )bass is very disjointed, Avantgardes for example, and the music just does not flow, but I will discuss your propo...

Jim Hi, my name is Keith Cooper, I own a pair of Alpha's had them here in London for about a month now, they are superb ! I heard some Trio's which initially stirred my interest in horn loudspeakers, I know Ralph is looking for a US distributor...

Brad Hi, I agree with you regading the bass of the Cessaro's in that Munich room, there was severe bass suck out, perhaps if you are ever over here you must pop in, I have been tryingto listen to a Vacuum State pre ( without buying one ) ...

I heard the Everests recently at the Munich Hi End show, unfortunately they were being used in an active vs passive display/dem , you could tell when the Everests were playing as the active speakers had a sound like an inflated balloon being rubbed w...

Romy thanks very much for taking the time to reply, presumably the design originates form PA design, literally enabling as many people as possible to hear the announcement, looking at the 'Everest' in Munich, the mid range 'horn' appears to be ...

I wanted to ask your opinion on wide dispersion horns, I am thinking particularly of the ( maple ) horns used in the TAD Exclusives ,early Westlakes etc, mostly studio monitor designs. I can see why a compact ,wide dispersion horn would be attra...
|
|
Romy Hi, I have heard TAD drivers in several systems, and they have all quite different, depending obviously on configuration and implementation , everyone is different and have different 'ears' .If a pair of Gamma's finds their way to the US I...

|
Romy Hi, Raplh uses a 300b push pull, but the power supplies are massive, parts alone 15K Euros, each channel has a separate supply, the pre-amp again two massive power supplies , he prefers to use eight of the horn loaded bass bins, although I...

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....

Romy I have read on this forum that you are not particularly keen on the very low output AN Japan ( and Uk ) cartridges, may I ask the nature of your experience with them , have you tried the field coil versions? Thanks Keith....
|
|
Just a quick note ,I went over to Germany and listened to a pair of Cessaro Alpha's at the home of TW Acoustic's Thomas Woschnick, I thought them absolutely superb, far more 'real' than any other speaker I have heard, ( impossible to hear everything ...
|
|
Romy I read your post listing some aspects of the Vitavox drivers Mike might take a look at and I know you give acoustic reproduction a lot of thought, have you envisaged the 'perfect ' driver, has the Vitavox enough 'accidentally good' qualitie...
|
|
If you are correct there should me a large gap in the market for any company that really cares about sound. Returning to the topic of the thread, have you noticed wide discrepancies in the 'sound' of S2 drivers even between drivers manufactured withi...
|
|
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...
|
|
Typically the ratio of manuacturers costs, ie parts and labour ro final selling price is 10:1 not uncommon with spekers to be 14:1, ie you but a pair of B&W's for £13000, the cost to B&W for that pair of speakers will be just over £1000, they sell to...
|
|
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...
|
|
Romy Hi, firstly I have the greatest respect for you, and your beliefs,( vis a vis audio reproduction ) you are absolutely right about drivers Ralph and Thomas listened to every commercially driver , apparently some of the Japanese drivers sounded ok...
|
|
Romy Hi, I understand, I thinkthat Ralph too sees the Beta and Gamma as the least compromised , I will pass on your details and maybe you can discuss it directly with Ralph, ( he has an interesting amp at home as well ) you prefer those old cinema dr...
|
|
Romy Hi, I do not know how the Alphas are configured crossover wise or how much 'sonic mad' they use, Avantgardes do not use compression drivers of course just slightly modified conventional cones ( I believe ) I have heard AG Trios the Cessaros are ...
|
|
Yes primarily i viseted Thomas to compare tonearms, he has a couple of Schroeders, the new graham Phantom ( mark III ) a vintage Ortofon amongst others. and he has a fine collection of cartridges, as I mentioned he is a very nice guy, The real surpri...

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...
|

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....
|
|
Romy Hi, which drivers should I be looking at/ listening to , friends of mine ( whose ears I respect ) like the TAD drivers, the GOTO and ALE are too expensive, I know you use the Vitavox, thanks in advance ,Keith....
