CES 2015 Acapella Audio Arts

At CES 2015 Acapella Audio Arts will introduce their new Acapella Cellini speakers.

We will be exhibiting with Acapella this year in room 30-225, in the Venetian tower, with Neli spending most of her time here.

The Cellini speakers are similar in size and pricing to their Violon speakers but feature Acapella’s new hyperspherical-shaped horn.

Here’s a lovely description, and specifications, fom the factory:

Acapella first used a hyper spherical midrange horn in the Poseydon speakers. This horn configuration offers an extraordinarily open and transparent sound in a more compact home loud speaker system,

Acapella Cellini

This highly musical midrange is traditional accompanied by the Acapella Ion Tweeter TW 1
The bass foundation is provided in a sleek housing that also serves as the support for the Ion Tweeter
and the spherical horn. The complete system recreates the sound of any type of music with absolute
authenticity and a certain mysterious magic.

CES 2015 is just a few weeks away…

Be there or… read the several dozen show reports that no doubt will appear [including ours :-)]

 

 

Houston, the … EMM Labs MTRX amps… have landed

The EMM Labs MTRX amps have arrived. Now we just got to position them, plug them in, hook them up, and…

Seriously, there is something ‘other worldy’ about really large amplifiers and science fiction movies flash before my eyes….

Encounters of the 30th Kind…

Return of the Death Star

OK… I’m sure we’ll think of more ways to communicate what an impression just the presence of the MTRX amps makes on things here.

Neli? Mostly she just keeps sayin’ “Just LOOK at those !@#$% things! Wow!”
