The Aries Cerat Symphonia Limited Edition Type S is complete and en route to the US as we speak.
Installation to come soon
Wow, they look awesome Joshua!
I haven't done my big review of the Kassandra DAC yet. TBH I have been enjoying it too much to power it down and take the tops off etc. I will do it next week, including lots of photos. The Kass' is one incredible source component. Finally I can say a truly remarkable sound quality from all digital device, with all the music material I can throw at it.
I'm excited for this like it's my system!
But then I remember that it isn't, and the disappointment sets in.
But then I think of the enjoyment it will bring, and I'm excited for Bill.
I think it’s really fun to have other WBF members to share in this build. The speakers are stunning. They are so beautiful it’s intimidating-yet thrilling all at once. Just like the gorgeous human versions but hopefully much lower maintenance. Sooo excited.
If theres a better looking speaker I haven't seen it. Congrats !
Part 2 has begun. Speakers and Phono have arrived and we will be beginning the final stages of assembly today. The room is still untreated and half the floor is concrete so there will be reflections galore, but it should still sound amazing with the extra room and LE equipment.

I did not measure the Symphonias. When I heard them at Joshua’s house, several times now, I came from my house which is flat to
20 with subs. The effect in comparison was that the bottom octave seemed missing. To my not so great ears, sounded closer to 50
than 30. But I will measure once installed. In my experience, what speakers measure at one meter from the manufacturer is
significantly different than what is heard at the listeners ears. My Raidho 5.1s, for example, have measured response down to 25hz.
But at my actual listening position not much below 50hz is actually reproduced. The subs in all likelihood will also be Aires-Cerat
horns.
I will measure once installed.
