Remoding Speakers Has An Effect On Resale Value
Yes,Raymonda they were bought orininally to please my ears,not someone else's.And now modified,I still did it for the same reasons.Yet one of my Audiophile buddies came over for a listen(who owns a pair of Egglestonworks Andras coupled with a Krel... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Indeed Mr.Adsal,the Wamm 7 were most probably the Reference of references in Wilsons whole lineup of loudspeakers!I would vouch to say that even the Alexadria's pale in comparision.This was a limited edition that Wilson made at the time.And at 250...

Indeed!But just for the record,Robert Gaboury(the x owner of Gemme Audio).Started a new line of speakers called Arteluthe.If I am not mistaken,he is using practically the same speaker enclosure as the Tantos,yet with complete different drivers.And...

Not Necessary Shakey,I really did like what I heard at first glance.It's when I pushed the Tanto s is when certain unsavorable characteristists started acting up.And this unpleasant boominess in the mid woofer became apparent only with certain rec...

This post will fire up the discussion; I'll start by saying that I contacted Lexidan since thru the member lookup I found that we live about 1/2 hour of each other. He got his modded Tantos back and let me tell you that I've never heard Tantos sou...

Indeed,The are limits to what a two way configuration like speaker can handle!Yet I have been testing my Gemmes at half of its its rated 770 wpc(which would be just shy of 400 wpc)And the signal is clean and load is not strained or at its limit.So... 
Remoding Speakers Has An Effect On Resale Value
Hi Yakbob, If you remember correctly that my first issue was finding the right amp.Due to high impedence curves on account of no crossover,this is quite a demand on an amp.Provided your dampening factor is high,and slew rate is on point,150 wpc wi...

Well Im not exactly ready to sell them just yet.And if I do..I would almost make it a prerequisite that you have to hearthem before buying.I would almost be ready to share the ticketto come down and audition(only if you've heard them before moddin...

Hi Raymonda, In fact,I will be probably keeping the Gemmes for quite a while.As contrary to what Onhwy61 has stated,the Gemmes really can take incredible amount of power,and I was assured that it wasnt on account of this that the original driver w...

Thankss for the inputCheers, 
Remoding Speakers Has An Effect On Resale Value
Well I guess I'm gonna have to learn to keep it below 12:00.But in any case the Silver Flute mid bass driver was a failure in my estimation.And I was assured by the people(Solen Audio)who manufactured and sold them(Gemmes Audio) the inner parts.As... 
Remoding Speakers Has An Effect On Resale Value
Oh...dont get me wrong they are awesome as is...as others who have heard my system can attest to!But its when I push them hard with 770 wpc of clean power with certain recordings that have incredible bass(like Patricia Barber to name a few).This i... 
My Gemme Tanto V2's with an Acurus DIA-150
Hi Yakbob,Indeed the Acurus/Gemmes combo was not at all a good pairing.It was in my opinion,the impedance factor that more or less caused the Acurus to not meet up to the task.As long as your amp can remain steady at 3 ohms the Tantos will accept ...
