An IMPORTANT feature of all of the Diesis speaker models is that there are three different resistors (Mundorf for all models EXCEPT THE ROMA TRIODE, the RT uses Pure Silver 99.99% resistors made by Diesis) that are supplied with the speakers, each resistor having different values, that can be changed in 5 minutes in each speaker.

The different resistor values alter the signal into the horn from approximately 500Hz and above and allow for:

- More mellow, laid back sound

-Neutral sound

-A bit more hotter/raw (more exciting sound)

The differences are totally user and room dependent. It is a GREAT feature when installing the speakers for different listeners in different rooms.

I’m sure there is a reason now for a trip to Italy, maybe a pause in Manhattan!

Cool diffuser thing. Maybe not my style, but pretty neat.

How lovely and what a view.
Where are you?
Thx. Yes quite a view. The installation that was done today was on the North Shore of Long Island. I am now back in Manhattan.

Are they using the new Rhapsody invisi-cables? I thought those were still in R & D.

Holes drilled in the floor cables run in the basement over to the cabinet. "Sort of" wireless:)

One Question
why didn't the horn driver open at the back so that it works as a complete dipole. sounds a lot better

We're VERY happy with the way that they sound as they are. For anyone that wants a different design there are lots of great choices out there.

I only learned about Diesis horn /open-baffle woofer design a couple years ago. Since then I’ve seen some other similar designs, and lots of horns speakers. I have never seen an open horn design as you describe though I will admit I have seen only a small percentage of all the various speaker designs. And, I have never heard anyone, besides yourself, mention this “horn open at the back” design. Can you share a speaker where this has been done? And you mention “sounds a lot better” compared to what? It seems to me it would require a totally different overall execution—please provide an example.

I loved the sound of the Diesis Roma when I heard them, have been wanting an excuse to hear them again for a more significant audition. That day is coming soon.:cool:
