MUNCHEN 2025 MOC / MARRIOTT The final Chapter !

I ve heard the small TAD [monitors] and its bigger brother quit a few times now , i like the TAD floorstander /nice speaker .
How amazing, I very much prefer the monitors (ME1, CE1-TX) to the respective floostanders (Evolution One, Grand Evolution One).
The monitors played superbly each time I heard them, in various venues and setups (even modest ones, regarding the ME1)
The floorstanders failed to convince me even once, in any venue/room or setup.

(I have not heard the new ME1-TX monitor yet; it's just a matter of days or weeks)

Monitors are usually limited in scale / extension .
Im used to big speaker sound so its kinda hard to go back to monitors .


( iirc you re from belgium , if interested my floorstander designs are on Demo at Amplitude / Hifi store in Brussels
Big speakersound in a small package ;) )
 
The Rosso Fiorentina Pisa speakers were (probably) pre-production models.

Apparently, Francesco Rubenni is switching to modified Sica drivers instead of the Tymphany and Scanspeak units he used previously.

A bit of news about FAS Zurich.

I and my colleagues will be having a room this year at the show!! Our room will demo the following equipment:

Aries Cerat Protos Integrated Amp, Helene DAC and the new Hermes phonostage

Odeon Semper Loudspeakers

J.Sikora Aspire and/or Standard Max turntables/arms with Koetsu cartridge

Lucas Domansky digital server (model tbd.)

The debut of Zurich based Anonymous Cables (digital and analog)

Savar systems SFERE F2 racks

We will be in one of the downstairs larger rooms (61sqm), so anyone on the forum who is coming to the show please come see us and introduce yourself, if I don't know you already.

This will be an opportunity to hear an all Prestige line Aries Cerat system with speakers that are an ideal partner for this level of gear.

Cheers,
Brad

Speakers for the show
Great.
I would have liked to know more in advance. Nevertheless, I announced it on another, French-speaking, forum:
- Original version (French) https://forum-hifi.fr/thread-39717-post-893430.html#pid893430
- Google translation (English) https://forum--hifi-fr.translate.go...tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp#pid893430

IMHO, you probably have the cards in hand to get a Best Sound Of The Show (though Stenheim is there too... ;-)
Here is a picture of the speakers we are going to use.

A small video with imperfect setup just to get a flavor of what this system can deliver.

Were you happy about the sound? (And the room, of course)

Regarding the right rack, what I see on the picture is that, IIUC, the gears' weight were overhang (in French: en porte-à-faux). If so, HOW could that rack handle the weight of the Sikora turntable, and the Aries Cerat Hermes phono, then the Protos integrated amplifier?! All three seem overhung...
(As for the left rack, I can see vertical pilar on the rack sides, so I understand)
