Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Tbg, can you give us a price for the Galileo Universal Cable Cells and the migs?

I am also curious how the migs are any different from
all the other isolation feet out there. They either
seem to increase sound staging and air at the expense
of diminished texture and added brightness, or the
other way around.

Scottmac62, the Galileo Universal Speaker Cell cost $2500 and Interconnect Cells, $1500, and the MIGs, $150.

I am trying to grasp exactly why they are so dramatically different. There is little question that the two ways they can be used differ. One with two cups round side up called ambient soundstage and the other with two down called pin point sound stage. Nothing is said about all down or all up. I have yet to decide which I prefer or which mix I prefer.

Last night with the linestage in ambient and the PowerCell and Minerva in pin-point, on a live recording of Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis, I had a greater sense of the audience and the instruments in the band were very precisely located with very natural timbre. The drum solos were very realistic and the bass very extended. Today may be different. I expect it will be better.

I really don't understand the MIGs. We know these metal bowls resonance in the case of the ARTS. SR's demonstration of them merely turns them over on a table round bottom up. With the MIGs can they resonate with their open side either against the shelf or the component?

No matter, however, they do change the sound and dramatically. I guess all of us will have to judge for ourselves whether we like what we hear.

The Cells will have to await further listening also. Mine only had an hour on them when I last listened.

There is nothing subtle about either the MIGs or the Cells. You will immediately know something is different.

TBg,

How long are the leads for the Galileo Speaker Cell MPC? Does it come with only one Galileo MPC?

Thanks

Splaskiin, the leads are about 2 feet long and the MPC charges both set of speaker wires. The kit comes with long extenders, so a centrally located MPC could charge speakers that are 15 feet apart.

Go to the new SR website. It has a great deal of information and many pictures.

It's nice/fun because the orientation is so system and listener preference dependent. My 1.6s are pinpoint spotlight masters. The ambient setting works well with them.

I'm on the list for demoing the Galileo cells. I'll be especially interested in how they do with my speaker cables which are still Audioquest bedrocks, one of the cheaper audioquest cables. That'd be a real test... not how they improve SRs own cables, but how they improve less expensive cables from other brands.
