Good news for audiophiles Cessaro new speaker is active and all Components like DAC DSP Pre and Power are in the new cessaro ported DSP loudspeaker.You just need a transport like cheap LG Samsung to play Ultra high end Sound ??https://www.cessaro.de/...

True, I don't know exactly what is that modification!I am not able to find where I saw they modify the drivers but here you can find some pictures of the Cessaro power supply at least and some generic citations:http://www.audioexotics.hk/index.php?op...

A few days ago in the thread “Who Builds Horns”: http://www.goodsoundclub.com/TreeItem.aspx?postID=3226#3226 there were mentioned the Cessaro Horn Acoustics Company from Germany. The company has an interesting model Gamma: http://www.cessaro-hor...

[quote user="el`Ol"]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...

Coops,
I do not “imagine” how Cessaro sound, I know how Cessaro sound. I won’t describe/explain it to you. If you look at the history of your post...

Interesting. The Cessaro are certainly the system that I would like to hear, probably Gamma rather then Betas. However, I thought that Cessaro are Germans company. Do they have presence in London? Do any Gamma are installed in controlled environm...

I suppose the biggest difference this year has been the introduction of the dual skinned carbon/fibreglass horns, which are filled with a liquid polymer, just seen the mid range horn on the Liszt at Munich and it does look great.We are waiting for an...

[quote user="Alex Yakovlev"] I was thinking about driving there on Thursday and back on Sunday to have two full days in Montreal (I love that city!) [/quote]
Thanks, Alex, I will look for Saturday- Sunday trip. The show need no more then 2-3 hours…

Hi Romy, I recently heard the smallest Cessaro and while I felt that the bass was not adequate for long term satisfaction it was also not a total disaster. From the midbass on up; however, the speaker is simply superb and one of the very best h...
|

Thanks, Brad, interesting feedback about the Cessaro.
It hard to look at bass within the show’s hotel rooms but since Cessaro use “closed bottom” topology for their LF solution it always, at lest in my mind, will be a room for improvement in Cessaro...

Cessaro won't be in Canada will they, Romy how do you imagine they sound?...

OK, understood. If you wish to hear Cessaro, along with some interesting source components and amplification, then Purite Audio is the only place that I'm aware of, and I understand that it's set up quite a bit more like the Definitive Audio thing th...

Ralph and Thomas are friends there would have been no price premium for the field coil option, they would have listened to both versions of the driver and made a decision on sound alone, I take your point though of an old technology resur...

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 wonder if anyone recognizes the drivers of the Cessaro Horn Acoustics? I thought that I know all of them but looking at Cessaro’s compression driver I have no idea what it is and I feel that my ego severally hurts. The pictures on the Cessaro site ...
|
|
Well, it was not trick question; I thought initially that they were TADs. However, TAD uses Alnico7, Alnico 5 and Neodymium magnets not the cobalt magnet. The TADs drivers do not cost €4K but rather €1.5K. I never heard TAD use Samarium-Cobalt ...

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...

If you ask me the compression drivers is like the jbl 2420/2470 design only with an other back chamber. And the low freq driver really makes me think of an old alnico driver of jbl 2220A http://www.lansingheritage.org/images/jbl/specs/pro-comp/2420/p...

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...

Cessaro ALPHA:
TAD TD-4001 2" driver on tractrix horn with 56cm bell (approximately 250Hz). TAD claims response from 600-20KHz. Given that the midbass is essentially a direct radiator (theref...

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...
|
|
Very nice, Keith, thanks. The most interesting would be to access the “Absolute Tone” capacity of the Gamma. Frankly I feel that with TADs it should not be very too advanced as they are at BMS/TOA domain, only with a little TAD syntactic twist. Even ...

It looks like Cessaro horns begin to spread this distribution. According to the messages on their blog the Hong Kong shop got Cessaro Alpha. Well, I care less about the Alphas, they are similar to the Avantgarde’s Uno/Duo should be very problematic. ...

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...

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...

Well, what is interesting in the subject: if the Cessaro guy will ever go for the DSET configuration in his commercial products? I am not certain but it is possible that in DSET configuration it might be possible to overcome the accused shortcomings ...
