Kudos Tommy for following proper protocol. That's a rare thing these days.

"The progressive gentle curve, made of multilayer cross-grained okumè, is applied through separate smoothed layers, thus applying the technique of constrained layer damping." Can you clarify this? Thanks. |

The Exo-Squeleton clamp is implemented by the 2 CNC machined avional nickel-plated end-covers ( on the top and on the bottom of the cabinet). Their role is to control and constrain residual resonances of the enclosure walls. The two end-covers are linked by the dual avional rear wings, functioning as a high speed mechanical interface that conveys spurious vibrations to the base of the cabinet. A Tuned Mass Damper, with multiple tuning frequencies, as seen on record skycrapers and F1 cars, converts the residual vibrations into heat (thermo-kinetics) by out-of-phase vibrations." Two paragraphs down from the one you quote. This is not your father's Sonus faber. |

The photo is from the Hong Kong AV Show which finishes today. The new Accordo is very nice although the stand is a bit plain.
As for the Ktema, yes you can buy it. I love its sound and its not too big size. howie |

Is the stand finalized? It looks a bit slim. I like the wide stand like those in the Guarneri series. |

I only took some iphone photos. Here's one closeup and one with a stand. The stand works fine, the finish is just a bit plain that's all. Last edited by howiebrou; 08-06-2011 at 11:12 PM. |

However, stand looks great and Franco appears to have realized that getting xovers out of the speaker can be a huge improvement. Speaker should be very good. |
