Like all time, a speaker doesn't make sound for itself. Room, electronics, setup skills.... I am sure at Munich HE the Reference Ultra's will sound different with the typical YS Sound/Schnerzinger setup.
New Zellaton Reference Ultra series
- Thread starter ashandger
- Start date
I have the Zellaton "Plural" Evo's in my home system and have many choices of what I can use. I find them exceptional compared to many of the more broadly distributed brands in the US. Add to that the highest German craftsmanship and their unique driver technology. I am especially intrigued by the near full-range driver used, I believe, to 9khz in the two-way under $50k Emotion Evo's displayed at Axpona recently.

I dug deeper into the Emotions at Axpona and found this capsule from Michael Lavorgnia. These are a must-audition if you have a smaller or moderate room, don't want behemoth loudspeakers, and are looking for a speaker with the best available coherence, resolution, and imaging. Gideon told me Zellaton will feature the new Reference speakers in Munich, which I am keen to hear! I plan on spending time at Audio Arts NYC in June to provide deeper insights into the Emotions of listening through our own WestminsterLab electronics and will file an update on this very promising addition to the Zellaton line.

And thank you to Stereophile for selecting the Zellaton Emotion’s in their Axpona closing entry as “some the finest sounds” at the show. All from a modest 2 way…..

Zellaton and LTA with anything but grim Grimm Audio and Great Music
What a perfect way to say goodbye AXPONA 2024. In a pretty simple system consisting of Zellaton Emotion Evo speakers ($44,750/pair), LTA Ultralinear amplification ($7000), and a Grimm Audio MU2 ($17,500) serving as preamp and streaming DAC with a Roon core and analog volume control, we began...

"The Sound Hits you in the GUT.". SHOCKING ALL the Reviews !

These have obvious deficiency in the crucial lower mid upper- bass impact, a trait that ALL Gorlich&Podzus drivers based speakers have, no matter the manufacturer, (save for the classic Ensemble PA-1, Primadonnas, and modern day Zellaton Legacy). To compare its "impact' to live music is shall I say highly arguable. Unless one sits very far in the hall, then may be."The Sound Hits you in the GUT.". SHOCKING ALL the Reviews !
Zellaton I think, kinda knows this, and that is why most music they play at shows is of general bass-heavy type, like Kraftwerk, Led Zeppelin, or the usual audiophile crap etc to mask the lack of bones on the meat, so to speak. These do have amazing texture and tonality, and very realistic portrayal of musical interplay, and very "unusual" sense of liveness to them, that is grossly lacking from most other "elite" box speakers, that is why lot of major "polically correct" brands owners are in such an awe when they hear them. Later on, after the initial honeymooon with the Podzus&Gorlich speaker phases, most of the new owners try to rectify the above mentioned lack of the very crucial (to me at least) lower mdirange upper bass deficency and the subwoofer & new amps masochistic carousel begins anew.
Again, the above is stricly IMHO, based however on quite an extensive experience and personal ownership of speakers with Gorlich & Podzus drivers, and not meant to be a critique of anyone's taste or choices.
Based on my personal listening habits& biases if one desires for this (often quite startling) Podsuz & Gorlich "magic liveness" sonic signature, plus live in-concert dynamic impact, then the Zellaton Legacy monitors with properly integrated REL Six Pick (the new 31 or 32 models) sub-system is a better option than any of these hyper priced new models, not to mentioned much less money....

Interesting information...thanks for sharing and will keep that in mind if/when I hear them. I wonder what happens if one put them together with Gryphon amps which have wonderfully powerful upper bass/lower mid that is genuinely addictive.
I can't leave the statement as it is. The Görlich have a very smooth frequency response right down to the bass. The 5'5 inch driver was also used in the intonation terzian speaker.
For me, one of the best bookshelf speakers there has ever been. When you hear them, you look for the subwoofer in the room but can't find one. Amazing bass.

The 5 inch Gorlich Podzus is their most dynamic driver ever. The Expolinear speakers above are indeed some of the best absolute sound monitors I ever heard, along with the Ensemble PA-1! I have been hunting these particular Expolinear models for years! Sadly the company is no longer making these. Same for the Micro Precision brand Podzus models. It is larger than 5 inches Gorlich Podzus drivers based speakers that I find lo have certain (to my ears and tastes) defficiencies. Even 6 inch based drivers in the current Symphonic Line Podzus based speakers also lack the impact I have mentioned despite being marvelous in many aspects. SInce you are in Germany, you can visit Rolf Gemein in Duisburg, he has two different models of Podzus based speakers in his listening room, one with the AMT tweeter.I can't leave the statement as it is. The Görlich have a very smooth frequency response right down to the bass. The 5'5 inch driver was also used in the intonation terzian speaker.

expolinear only stands for it because at the time he was the only dealer who sold Görlich. In my circle of friends there is the outsider emotion speaker, intonation bordun 16 speaker with old and new Görlich driver.

Have you personally listened to these Brocksiepr speakers? Specifically the Arabesce model? Who has developed these new Gitin drivers? Appreciate your feedback greatly!expolinear only stands for it because at the time he was the only dealer who sold Görlich.

Gideon Schwartz (Audio Arts) has heard them in comparison and explain the differences and improvements. I would reach out to him.
