Aries Cerat Symphonia Review

I think that is a venue? I have also heard amazing performances in Almeria, and Roquetas de Mar, and Granada.
Yes, that is one of the most venerated places in Madrid for Flamenco. Whether Blanca del Ray is as authoritative a flamenco dancer as they make out, we had no idea...but the remarkable number of US presidents, royalty, celebrities, dignitaries who have visited the place and specifically her filled an entire wall going back decades. Pretty impressive, and I remember the local people we do business with speaking highly of the place.

If you want to be transported to a Tablao Flamenco, I highly recommend this album:


Youtube doesn´t do the XRCD justice, but close your eyes and it´s like you´re there.

A closer view of one of the Symphonia LE’s purposeful looking external crossovers,

“ The external crossover, consists of three constant group delay filters. A constant group delay filter, is our own proprietary design, which alters the attenuation slopes of the driver filters, to shape the phase(and doing so the GD)in such a way ,as to provide maximum GD linearity.
Using this specific filter technology to the physically time aligned horns, the Symphonia speaker present time domain performance which is near perfect, and a frequency response with a maximum deviation of +-0.5db (250Hz-20KHz). “

A Quite Superb full Aries Cerat system in North London … Topwing Red Sparrow being the weapon of choice.
The Dropbox file sounds the best.

I have a couple of questions about the Symphonias. What is the current range of prices for them? I know it must vary depending on finishes chosen, and what is an LE?
Thanks in advance for answers to these questions. I believe I could actually buy them if I chose to considerably diminish my retirement savings. That is something I might choose to do. I believe there is not much point in being mentally ill if one doesn't do something crazy as hell at least every now and then.
 
[please forgive my poor English]

(This post will not factually answer your question.​
My point is just that​
if diminishing your retirement savings doesn't put you in a risky situation,​
then you just need to do something crazy once, not every now and then (they will be your last speakers, for sure; as long as you are not obsessed with deep bass; approx. 30Hz can be reached, with the appropriate distance).​
Supra-lunar speakers, big time (see my post #10 for an explanation of this seemingly "baroque" qualification; I now count only two in this category; the second ones being much more expensive than the Symphonias.)​
44 live un-amplified performances (mainly classical) in various concert halls this season are my aural compass for this - the CSO conducted by Muti in Prokofiev 5th, OMG !!​
Good luck. Keep us posted.​

I recall it being discussed in a few of the Munich videos.


If you are in the US, I can provide you information on my dealer as they all cover the US.
