I think they could could make the sound more pleasant with an overkill of second harmonic distortion. But for people who prefer that kind of sound a relax-horn like Anima would be better anyway. No real solution. Maybe they should try the Radian aluminium diaphragms for TAD.

I think it has nothing to do with second harmonic. One gets more masking effect and more palatable sound but I do not think that this is the problem of Cessaro.


I read somewhere (was it here?) that it is a set of densely spaced narrow band resonances of the beryllium diaphragms that makes the problem. For me the magnetostatic speakers of a legendary US manufacturer (that measure miserably in time- and frequency domain and are usually combined with Krell or worse) are the proof that errors in almost any domain can be masked with enough second order harmonic distortion and finally lead to a "musical" result.

BTW,
recently I have seen the schematic of a coaxial compression driver with BMS like construction on the JBL website. If the BMS patent should have run out some competition in the field should boost the quality of the concept.
