has anyone had a chance to peep into martion room? from some of the regular visitors of munich fair, i've heard that a sound quality in their room with their flagship system (4-way horns with 4 amps and active XO) was much much better than earlier ye...

the text at cessaro homepage says following :Auch das angewandte Magnetmaterial gehört zu dem Feinsten, was jemals im Lautsprecherbau verarbeitet wurde. Alnico-Magnete (finden heute aus Kostengründen kaum noch Anwendung) und im Superhochtonbereich ei...

Having visited High End last year, and spent a little more than 2 seconds in the Cessaro room, cold and sterile is not how I would describe the resultant sound at all. Just goes to show how we all seem to hear differently....
|
|
Romy,I think that kind of sound was intended and could have easily been changed by using different electronics. However, I apologize for throwing such an unreflected opinon into this forum and of course will listen to the Cessaro more carefully next ...

Mike Hi, prices and value well the new Gamut speaker was next door to us in Munich, Euros 95K it was unbelievably poor , Avantgarde charge how much for their large Trios yet the modified conventional drivers they use cost only a few bucks each, as to...

I was also in Munich this year. Cessaro had one of the best sounding systems at the Show, but I thought I could hear some droning bass from BLH. Of course it could also be the room, but somehow I doubt it - I have heard few (some even made myself) BL...

As you may remember, it was about David at the time.And you are correct, it was a mistake.You said, "I think the Cessaro folks shell recognize you as a quite valuable asset to explore US market."I'm curious as to what grounds you have for making such...

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...
|
|
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...

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....

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...

Coops, Merlin
It looks you are familiar with 703 driver’s sound. Any thoughts that you find would be worth to share? I do not think that by listening this driver it would be possible to distinct the sound of Neodymium from sound of cobalt. Still, in...

I don't think they are deaf, but honestly, you are the first who writes that this Cessaro Horn room was one of the best at show.I guess, you are the Deaf one, I know another one in Germany who writes very important messages =) and he is deaf in one e...

Romy Hi, I didn't particularly set out to 'demean' Avantgarde, they have a good business model, I don't believe it is a secret that they modify conventional drivers, I simply mean that the constituent parts of a Cessaro horn , add up to a far hi...

We should have our new Cessaro Betas by the time of your visit, I might even be able to give you a lift up to Kevin if we can synchronise timetables.Keith....

I’m glad you talk about geometry, but to respond to this I have to refer to other brands. I will only talk about facts and hope it’s not offending anybody.My basic point is: the flare rate has to be coherent right from the entrance of phase plugs. In...

de Charlus,I don't think that you are taking the posts the way that they were meant.Your initial post started with a collection of what you consider to be the finest drivers for specific tasks. That is just fine and you may well be correct.The real j...

It must sound better than that. I bet the camera was not sophisticated enough to catch this technicolor sound..... or the recordings they played were unfortunate. Usually with this kind of installation pop, rock sounds pretty good and positively hon...

I have thought many times about trying to have an Audio System like Macondo Horn Loudspeaker System and if I could get good result then I will demo it in munich high end show.this is a big project for me because I am not expert and I have no DIY expe...

Well, it is always difficult to me to deal with audio people because any expressing any abstract notion in front of them those enslaved people perceived as a preamble to some kind of “deliverable good” and the sick audiophile imagination has already ...

[quote user="de charlus"]As for Hi-Fi, a few recommendations would be; Walrus Audio, Riverside Hi-Fi, The Listening Rooms, Audio Lounge and Classic Hi-Fi in Finsbury Park for all things valve, horn and analogue.[/quote] Hm, I have absolutely no inter...

Thanks for input! This is the kind of information I am looking for. My feeling is one driver can't do it all. But audio reviews say this Cube Audio driver is revolutionary and finally we can have it all. As it meets the criteria of no crossover to sc...

[quote user="coops"]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.[/quote] Keith, please do not take it personally. Yo...

romyregarding the quality of the cessaro speaker u may be right. regarding the price : the whole thing would be better, if the owner would not be so ambitious, to get rich quick, and ask a decent price. the price he is asking is...

I have long followed posts in this forum and wondered what the ultimate horn system sounds like. I have always liked certain attributes about the horn systems I have heard (Trios, Cessaro, Acapella, Altec, the usual suspects) but never to the point ...

Hi Paul. Dont get me wrong, i dont want to sound like advertising it. Yet they made me excited with their approach and achievement. So I cant prevent sharing a little. Of course investing huge effort & ressources wont guarantee amazing results. L...

wow.thanks for comments.La Grande Castine will not be as expensive as Cessaro Gamma.i am sorry but i cannot answer to all questions, for several reasons you can understand.we have tested many drivers since the early prototype of La Grande Castine. BM...

Some folks from Australian audio site nominated my Macondo as the ugliest loudspeaker. I would disagree but my objective in this thread is not arguing about tastes but to talk a bit about reference points of judgments. It is irrelevant to me per...

I just visited the Highend in Munich and had the chance to listen to two of those monster SETs. Cessaro showed up with monstrous 833 amps and my thought was that there is something wrong with the music. I know it is common in this forum to describe w...
