This is what I wrote in Czech forum
I can't help it—after yesterday, when I got to taste the new additions from Aries Cerat, the Symphonia, I'm still full of impressions. I can't get out of my head how these beauties presented themselves to me. It's crazy—completely different technology compared to Clarisys, using the same hardware, and yet such an enormous difference in sound.
No, I'm not surprised—it was to be expected—but the richness of those beautiful tones, all harmoniously connected into one cohesive whole... it really didn’t leave me indifferent. I almost regret not making the effort to carry them up to the first floor in Vraclav, into my hall where I spend most of my time. Now, it's a true celebration for me to head out, enjoy myself, and spend beautiful moments with music on a dream system I never even dreamed of. Only now do I truly understand what Aries Cerat is all about! You have to experience it in its full complexity and complete beauty. Only then will you hear how uniquely Aries Cerat presents music.
Stavros is the king of kings. He doesn’t care that people in the Czech Republic don’t know his brand—his passion is production and constant refinement. Music is his passion, and what Stavros creates is exceptional. Absolutely uncompromising. I am Czech and I am now spreading words out, it is my duty to let people know about Aries Cerat in this region from now on.
What makes the sound of Symphonia in symbiosis with its siblings so special? I could wax poetic and dive into emotional declarations, but instead, I invite you to come and listen for yourselves—then you'll hear exactly what I’m talking about. Some of you may have already gotten a glimpse during the Prague show. It’s a different sound, a different dimension. Still, I understand that everyone perceives things differently and some people seek out specific characteristics they prefer—and that’s perfectly fine. That’s what this is all about.
These are two entirely different categories, both top-tier. One gives you an ultra-modern sound, completely free of any enclosure coloration, with all the sonic advantages like speed, deep bass, immense soundstage, clarity, transparency, and resolution. The other one, though, completely enchants you with music, where you’re not thinking about anything—you’re just immersed in the beautiful harmonies washing over you. Simply, a symphony.
Let’s wrap this up on a lighter note. If I were to go full Březina-style, I’d compare Clarisys to a stunning model with perfectly styled hair and a made-up face, dressed in the latest fashion. And Symphonia? That would be a beautiful, strong Moravian girl, full of life, and when she smiles at you, your heart skips a beat. That’s how it is, my friends.
Sometimes I like to look at the model—she’s beautiful—but if I had to choose who to live with, I’d rather it be the Moravian girl who’ll cherish me and love me. But that’s a different story.
I’m truly grateful for everything that led me to this realization, and I don’t regret the sacrifices, blood, and sweat it took to get to this point.

P.S. I'm already looking forward to the second session—it’s just amazing.
