A fascinating old thread about my favourite loudspeakers with quite opposite opinions. I guess, it only proves that Zingali should be matched carefully. I used to own Ov.3s many years ago, could not tame the bass in my 13’ x 19’ room and sold it, owned various speakers since - from ATC and Shahinians to JMR and finally top of the line Living Voice OBX R2, with outboard crossovers. These are highly regarded and thought to be very transparent, detailed and musical, but don’t come close in that respect to Zingali in my opinion. I could never forget that magical, natural Zingali midrange, and 10 years lated snapped a used pair of Overtures 2. Couldn’t be happier ever since. I am driving it with a 45W Linear Tube Audio Z40, and EL34 NOS Mullards sound fantastic with this horn/compression driver. Vocals, Jazz, Classical, Blues are probably the best genres for these speakers.
