| Review: Acapella Triolons Speaker There is a review of the Triolons and my system at http://www.dagogo.com/Spotlight/AcapellaTriolon-Crowder.html. I will be responding later this week. I have also just inserted Jorma No. 1 bi-wire speaker cables on the Triolons and will be comment... | |
| Review: Acapella Triolons Speaker I probably should have said that the plasma tweeters should never be used without some sort of AC line filter as that will void the warranty and may lead to damage to the tweeters. The Corecom filter in the IEC is a very cheap filter but does prot... | |
| Review: Acapella Triolons Speaker Your speakers are in my mind a credable alternative to the larger Acapella's, particularly in a smaller room. They certainly can sound excellent with the right associated equipment. Unless your tweeters have beem modified they use a European conne... | |
| best preamp ever - cost is no object Best is a relative term dependent on your values and the remainder of your system. There is also is sometimes a synergy in using an amp and preamp from the same manufacturer. Cases in point: the Einstein preamp is quite good, especially with a bit... | |
| Review: Acapella Triolons Speaker A short update: The Triolons sound significantly more like real instruments played in a real space than the Campaniles with an incredible amount of new detail on cd's and records which I had not heard with the Campanile Highs. This greater resolvi... | |
| Best subwoofer? The best that I have heard are the Cabasse Saturn 55 Active Subwoofers which are hideously expensive. A 21" concave Cabasse woofer (built in their factory) in a 37" by 33" by 28" box with a 1200 watt amp, parametric EQ and low pass filter, capable... | |
| Review: Acapella Triolons Speaker It has been an incredibly hectic 48 hours! Four piano movers arrived at my home about 8 AM Sunday morning and proceeded to move the assorted boxes that constitute the Triolons into my listening room. On Saturday I had carefully measured and taped ... | |
| Review: Acapella Triolons Speaker The Triolons are designed to be tri-wired and can be tri-amped. Herman recommends the tri-wiring over tri-amping if a single amp will drive the speakers properly. I have three pairs of the Isoclean Super Focus on hand and will initially be tri-wir... | |
| Review: Acapella Triolons Speaker After many months of weather induced delay, the freight company delivered my Triolons last Saturday (3 very large crates, 2@200# each and one at a whooping 1500#). The crates are currently in my garage awaiting the piano movers who will come in th... | |
| Acapella Plasma Tweeter: Dangerous ozone or not? One of the many nice things about the Acapella speakers is that they have succeeded in taking care of the ozone problem by converting it in the combustion chamber. Note that I have owned a pair for a number of years and can tell you from personal ... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde In response to Fernando's comments, with respect to the Violons, the comparison is probably accurate but will be influenced by the amp driving the Acapella's. Midrange purity is better with tubes, low bass and speed improve with an appropriate sol... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde My friend went from an earlier set of the Highs to the Suboctaves and they are quite an improvement over the earlier highs. | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Suggest strongly that you listen to each of these speakers before buying either. They have very different strengths and weaknesses. My personal prejudice would be to get the Acapella Violin Highs. A friend just replaced an older pair with the late... | |
| Einstein OTL amps experience My only experience with the Einstein OTL's has been at the show on Acapella speakers. In that set up, they are extremely resolving, transparent and seem to have more than enough power to drive the speakers. As you might expect, the amps sound simi... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? At this point, clearly the Acapella Triolons driven with Audio Note electronics, Jorma cabling and EMM Labs digital. The Triolons significantly extend the dynamic envelope with excellent microdynamics and crescendo's capable of rattling walls, all... |
