Audio Alto with MA drivers?

djanci · 3rd May 2011, 09:03 AM

Hi Mark,

Looking at last Hi-Fi SHOW LJUBLJANA 2010 pic gallery I was stunned when I saw showroom of a new Slovenian loudspeaker manufacturer. It looks to me that all their loudspeakers are using your drivers but there is no info that could confirm that on their website Audio Alto. Can you confirm that?

Cheers

That's a nice-looking KT-88 amp too.

Appears to be Alpair 10s & 6 x series-parallel (presumably 2 parallel packs of 3 units in series) CHR70, respectively.

Do the alpairs work well for Omni?

How do you define 'work well?'

People have been very pleased with the microTower, particularily the castle version.

two people that I know of for sure, but they don't use what the posted photo seems to display as a conical deflector in the very near field, and really don't qualify as an "omni" .

Semi-omni I call them. Then again, a lot of nominally omnidirectional speakers aren't entirely either. YMMV.

I can't think of a single one -- outside of a subwoofer -- that is.

I remember reading a comment by Mark saying his speakers weren't design for Semi-moni or using reflection/acoustic lens/deflectors. I can't remember the exact reason...

Something I would love to try. Perhaps I will while my alpair a are not yet soldered into their cabinets.
