Ron Resnick Launches Audio Cafe LLC, a New Clarisys Audio Dealer

[Argonaut]

I wish you joy of your new enterprise and great success Ron.

Couldn't you find a proper job tho

And there was me Ron, thinking you'd be up for selling some Zus, lol. I know you like those Definitions 6 you heard at Phil's.

Zus are like Thor’s hammer. Not everyone can wield them, you have to be the chosen one

Congrats, Ron! That is very exciting.

I am not sure how your woofer towers are designed for being able to work with other main speakers...but I did ask earlier in other thread (maybe this one?) whether you would ever consider Clarysis Auditoriums with Gryphon Subtowers. Perhaps some day in the future we might all see that trial occur in your room.

Basically a very-nearly full-range panel, and then utilizing all the majesty of the Gryphon tower subs below 32hz.

Ron,

I was not that far off when asking you about a potential speaker change, LOL…. but I did not see this comming so quickly. The Clarisys looks awesome in your room. Very slick so to speak! Congratulations on this new project. I wish you the very best. You should install some kind of an automatic sliding floor, so you can slide in and out speakers from the room and optimize for what ever setup, LOL..

Well Ron… My very best to you !!

Super second move. Add an active crossover and six channels of amplification to the Auditoriums and its Checkmate!

congratulation.
the tubes has absolutely no problem with the Clarisys audio. you can use them in ease.
regarding the break in, wait until you cover the 215 hours mark, you would not believe what you have in your room.
this speakers are pure magic.
wish you much success and happiness.

Aviad.

Couldn’t believe the change at the 225-225 hour mark.

 

[Bbock]

Congrats Ron! Looking forward to your comments when broken in and the Hegel amps are up and running.

 

[Rexp]

As an ex dealer, my advice to you would be never sell anything you would not be happy to listen to yourself. Good luck!
I also note the Suncoast guys were using VAC over Hegel at the Florida show...

Yes, no doubt VAC is great with these speakers(I like the way VAC is voiced), but I’m surprised how musical the Hegel monos are. And I’m coming from Manley mono tube amps.

Cool, which pre do you use?

They both work wonderful and we recommend either brand depending on customer taste. All the best Flo

VAC master preamp with the phono stage.

Congratulations Ron!

My sister in law here in Oslo is an old friend of Bent Holter of Hegel. Will make sure he knows his products are in excellent hands.

congrats on your new venture Ron......looking great and suits room

Congratulations Ron on your new business. I do have a serious question for you . Wasn’t it you the questioned Robert Harley’s and other reviewers when he wrote about how long term loans were good for the Industry and to paraphrase there’s nothing to see here let’s move on philosophy?
I don’t see how someone can be a dealer and then expect to have neutrality towards other products that do not put money in your pocket?
This seems to be a conflict of interest. I don’t think anyone can serve two masters. Dealers like myself are always being questioned as of motive and in fact you and I had a very serious discussion about this before I renewed my WBF sponsorship.

On another note in a forum where people discuss the smallest of things and there audible differences putting a large dipole speaker or in fact any speaker in front of any other speaker is an audio no no. Sorry
I don’t care what brand you are discussing this is not chasing the best result.
Best of luck in your endeavor!

 

[Kingrex]

I don't know congratulations is really the correct word. I'm actually a bit sad for you. I fear your in for an uncomfortable ride. I hope I'm wrong and you enjoy the new endeavor. Best wishes

A sticky wicket, for sure.

 

[Ron Resnick]

Thanks!
Any plan to add active XO?

Not presently. I just want to get the current speakers settled in first.

I´d guess this is in fact the first step in a change of speakers....
