Our Cellini are here…

Acapella Cellini loudspeakers in a modern gray and white fit very nicely into this mid-century modern home.

Thin deformable walls and make for some bass suck-out, and hard-surfaces everywhere make for an elevated midrange – so we have work to do.

Neli has some family-heirloom carpets that go well here – but they are too small! So what do we do? Get a new carpet that better fits the room? Use two smaller ones, albeit ones that have different patterns from each other? Is the aesthetics of the room really that important? Does it contribute to the enjoyment of the music or it’s only job to stop the sound from bouncing around the room indefinitely?

You know, moving requires us to make So Many Decisions. We are kind of burnt out.

Anyway, lots of tuning to do.

OK. I guess it had to come out sometime. There is indeed a mirror that surrounds the gas fireplace. Not our idea. Seriously.

Have to say that you DO get used to it. But we will probably put some plants there, or paste up old album covers over it, or give people Halloween masks to wear [I will be Terminator and Neli? Trying to convince her to go for the Princess Leia, but…]

We’ll be open soon… !

Long Article on Acapella Audio Arts

There is a new long article on Acapella Audio Arts by a European correspondent for Positive Feedback.

2016-02-16_acapella_001

http://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/feuilleton-acapella-audio-arts/

The article includes many yummy photos of the factory and the factory showroom – as well as other fun and mysterious factoids about the speakers and their other gear.

I chose to display this photo from the article because it shows the big Poseidon speakers, which we waaaaant, and how impressive they look. Not sure that is the color of horn that we would choose… but maybe. I would probably go for a mirror finish if Acapella actually supported that option and Neli didn’t give me that look that simultaneously says I’m an idiot while at the same time saying that she feels sorry for me with such poor taste in speaker horn finishes :-/
