Post Subject: Danny's Horny day with CessaroPosted by Romy the Cat on: 4/2/2008

I have no idea who he is but I thought that this might be interesting in context of this thread. It is a Hong Kong guy who replaces his looks like Avalon Eidolon with some kind of 3-way Cessaro. It looks as he uses 833 amp. I do not know a lot about that speaker and I did not read the blog. It looks like LF driver is some kind of HF extended low Fs driver. Then it is most likely the standard TAD MF horn-loaded and a plasma tweeter.

It looks like Cessaro has developed some Hong Kong/China presents – that is good.

I am not a big fun of plasma tweeters but all together this type of configuration as on the picture above is all depends how good the woofer is made. It is very tricky to make this type of woofer to work all the way up to 500Hz and to give any more or less interesting bass. I do not know if the enclose is ported and I have no idea what driver the use. The box is good size thought…

The Eidolons were $20K loudspeakers, although I would NEVER drive them with a production 833 amp. Let presume that new Cessaro is with the same $20K range. I might be interesting for some folks. For extra $5.99 people can buy in Home Depot the spray-paint and to paint that moronicly-white horn on the dark-colored loudspeaker. The $5.99 is not a big investment…

Anyhow, I never heard the thing and have no idea how it sounds. Accapela do the same idea with not good result. I hope Cessaro do something better then.

Rgs, Romy
