Anyone Check Out Almarro Products Loudspeakers?...


in Vegas this past weekend? They look pretty medieval - was wondering if they sound good.

See my posts:

The Almarro M50A's (driven by 6 tube watts) were:

- Nicely balanced top-to-bottom. slight emphasis on upper midrange gave them good "jump".

- Very clean treble via ribbon tweeter. Not as extended or airy as a good SEAS but extremely natural (this based on a handful of tracks. CD player looked like a budget model).

- 8-to-10 inch woofer sounded very healthy considering the 6 watts. Uses one of the "super magnet" technologies.

- First rate crossover. Sat 7-8 feet away with no loss of coherence. Drivers totally integrated.

Cabinet appeared to be constructed by Samurai masters.

I didn't like the plastic plugs on the front baffle (to hold the grill cloth in place). These should be optional
on all high-end speakers (or builders should make them invisible). The made the speakers look to "busy".

A pair of these in a high-gloss premium verneer would become family heirlooms.
