I was captivated by the extraordinary Acapella tweeter at CES this year in their Violon III speaker demo...I think I had heard a version of this tweeter before in a different acapella speaker, and never noticed it as being wonderful...but t...

Dear SteveThe beauty of Plasma Tweeters are that they can reproduce 5k onwards to (I was told) 60kHz. I have a pair of the Coronas which I run in a tri amp set-up with independant remote volume control.My main speakers are full range S...

Yep KIS. I dont use tweeters at all...just run a pair of Fostex 4" per channel in a sealed box from 250 Hz to where they will go. There is a little upward tilt which Romy rightly complains about to all the gods that wil...

It looks like the Cogent boys came up with a new design. It is good that they are keep looking, even thogh they unfortunately are restricted with their desire to stretch the use of their drivers over too wide bandwidth….

Well, Steve, usually I find this situation of “instantaneous awe” is not necessary a good thing. You did acknowledge the “benefits” of the tweeters in Acapella and this is undeniable evidence that the tweeter did not perform well in context of the gi...

If you contact the guy he will probably tell you where it is from. It is good and it is a bigger flame than the one used by Acapella. The ion tweeters absolutely need clean power AND need to be isolated from the rest of your system as the...

I am not "working backwards" from a tweeter. I presently use Harbeth M40.1s, but having recently heard the Living Voice Vox Olympian and an Audio Tekne horn implementation of Ale Acoustics drivers, the experiences opened up new vistas of what is poss...

This project sounds like Rubriks cube. You have all of the ingredients and 43,252,003,274,489,855,999 chances to get it "wrong". None of those parts guarantees anything special and they all offer plenty of miserable possibilities......I personally ca...

Beautiful post, rowuk. Very thoughtful, very considered. I have a slightly different take on the situation. Let's illustrate the point with the original poster's own words. First he says:"What distinguishes my project from most is that I wish to i...

I mean, even if I was extremely rich, there's sort of a "point" of return or guilt or something, like worrying perhaps TOO much on other aspects to compliment them. I wouldn't buy Cessaros even if I was rich...for some reasons. I'm not...

KIS,I have owned the Martin Logan CLS's so I have some long term experience with electrostatics. To me it seems that the Acapella plasma tweeter (which I have heard for a total of less than 30 minutes!) had a SIMILAR quality of sound and yet a&n...

[quote user="drdna"]Hey this looks vaguely familiar.http://www.dagogo.com/Spotlight/AcapellaTriolon-Crowder.html[/quote] Actually I read this “review” of the “Acapella Triolon Excalibur four-piece horn loudspeaker system”. Well, not the entire review...

Dear All,I wish to commence gathering the components and finding the craftsmen necessary for my DIY speaker project, but wished to bring my proposal before this forum in order to establish whether it's intrinsically worthy, and whether any simple imp...

We understand that Charlus’ selection of drivers are not a selection yet but some kind of very preliminary idea of the drivers that he feels like he like. I said “he feels like he like” not accidently. I do not think Charlus, or anybody else in h...

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...

[quote user="cv"] I gather the Acapella plasma tweeters have a catalyst so you don't get the nasty oxides/ozone etc. Got some old ionofanes on the way so will know soon how well they freshen up the room... They are self-amplified so efficiency ...

[quote user="de charlus"]What I wish to do is to take the Cessaro Gamma for my model, substituting Vitavox and Ale drivers for the TAD ones that Cessaro employ due to the (I believe) greater musicality of the former, and using the Acapella tweeter in...

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 ...

If I went to a Ferrari dealer and "kicked the tires", they would ask me what I am doing there. In the audio world, there are a lot of people "listening" to the Magico that are not doing anything else except kicking tires.Why the dealers/reps feed tho...

[quote user="Telus"]Choosing the Acapella tweeter as a starting point is like wanting to build a Formula 1 race car by basing it on a set of Hot Wheels. Oh I know it's a popular choice--but only by the frighten and fraudlent audio human waste.

I really don't get excited about the high priced stuff. They are building to a specific market and if that customer wants to spend 300K on cables, why not? I do not need to justify not being interested or even criticize the "business" plan. King Mida...

Romy,Point taken on the Ozone issue...do the catalytic converters in the units work effectively? I do not know. There are relatively inexpensive measuring devices for it.I agree completely that they sound different. You can see in my language that I ...
