New listening room coming along at Rhapsody, California. Just got Odeon Helix set up. Right now with Esoteric 30 watt class A integrated, Holbo Turntable, Ypsilon Step up and Ortofon Verismo. Will get those big 845's in the background up and running soon!

 

Another beautiful set-up, David! Congratulations!

Which 845 amps are those?

Made by Psvane. They're beasts! But they need about 30db of gain from a preamp. They made a matching one that was just as over the top but it's no longer available.

Looking good!

Without a preamp in the equation what's the gain of these amps?

 

ALSYVOX DANIELE COHEN AND HIS WIFE PAOLA VISITS US RHAPSODY LOCATIONS​

​

Grand Tour of Rhapsody Listening Locations​

We are just back from our tour where we visited 5 of the 6 Rhapsody Audio (our exclusive US distributor) listening locations.
It has been a great experience to know all the great professionals that run the places: Bob in Brooklyn NY, Bob in Portland, David in San Francisco, Chris in Dallas and Jerry in Chicago.
We had fabulous time together: dinners, lunches, trips in the country, wine tasting, parks visits.
And of course plenty of hours of beatiful music listening: all rooms sound great, each different like every customers’ room is. Again this is the proof that Alsyvox speakers can play beautiful in any home.
Also two meetings with local audio enthusiasts with a total of about 50 people were organized by David and Bob West.
Thank you to all of you for your warm welcome and professional help!

Great turnout of over 30 people from the San Francisco Audiophile Society. Was nice to hear so many folks say it was the best sound they ever heard in a home.

Looking forward to the addition of Pilium Alexander and Hercules in the coming weeks. Anyone in California always welcome to come and listen for a private audition.

interesting. Will these run on Kondo?

 

interesting. Will these run on Kondo?

Yes, on Ongaku and Kaguras that we have now in Brooklyn and Gakuoh II that I have on order.

 

Congratulations, Bob! I have had my eye on these bespoke loudspeakers for a while now and I am sure they will be a great addition to your line-up.

 

Congratulations, Bob! That looks like a very interesting speaker!

Thx Ron. They are gorgeous and sound very special. They are like pieces of fine furniture and to me most importantly are 96db efficient and an 8 ohm speaker which allows me to run with my low powered Kondo amps.
