Just a few pics of unwrapping/uncrating of Roma SE at Rhapsody-out-west. I have a ways to go before I have all electronics arrived and the system playing music, but the Roma are absolute works of art. The leather wrapped, hand stitched frame is a beautiful touch courtesy of Giuseppi @ Diesis. I have to say I‘m thrilled and eager to hear the Pilium & Diesis together.

Quite exquisite Bobvin, what a system you / Rhapsody are building up , iam sure you will have enthusiasts queuing up ! what’s the wife going to say? The good Mrs will be moving out! BTW are the horn sections adjustable?

 

You are clearly enjoying yourself - thanks for the pictures! Will you use some sort of floor slider to move speakers in and out of position for listeners or will all the speakers have their own position in your room?

The Roma look much more impressive in your photos than in the adverts.

Congratulations Bob as things start to come together for your new dealership.

"Will you use some sort of floor slider to move speakers in and out of position for listeners or will all the speakers have their own position in your room"

With Bob only having the Romas delivered so far I will jump in and say that the Romas, even though they weigh 250lbs each are one of the easiest speakers that I've eve "walked" around the room to put in and out of position. The frames are made of a cement compound wrapped in leather. You can hold them by the tops frame and as they are only about 8 " deep they dance with you quite easily.

There are two Diesis footers that are placed on the front bottom of the frame of each speaker. There is one footer on the rear center/bottom of the frame. You can adjust the height of the one rear footer, which adjusts the verticall angle of the horn. The horn does not adjust horizontally.

 

Rhapsody-out-West (thats me) is beginning to (finally) see speakers coming in. Global supply chain and shipping has slowed arrival, but Diesis Roma finally made it from Rome to Oregon City. The Roma are as heavy as my Wilson Alexia, so carrying them down a flight of stairs is a bad idea for this young geezer. Thats where my little Kubota comes in…

Rhapsody.Audio Diesis Roma/Pilium Leonidas/Aurender A30/CMS stand/TelluriumQ cabling Manhattan installation. The room has special acoustic walls that make up for the LARGE reflective screen, which also has an acoustical cover when preferred.

Looking very nice indeed.

 

Full Kondo system (IO-M Cartridge, SME tonearm/Kondo tonearm wiring, SFz SUT, GE-10 phono stage, G-1000 preamplifier, Kagura mono amps OR Ongaku OR original Kondo 2A3 Kyoeun 6 watt amplifier) with Diesis Roma speakers and all Kondo cabling @ Rhapsody.Auido/Brooklyn.

 

This would be a fun system to hear. Father, is that a resonating plate behind the rack? It looks like this gear is very happy just to be placed on that lovely wooden rack. Very nice room.

Thx Peter It is a resonator, but just happens to be sitting there at the moment, I'm still re-arranging on a daily basis.

Wow! What a cool looking system and room! I'm guessing pushing $0.5M total price?

What benefits does the “Brass (?) Resonater “, bring to the system?

I like the way resonators in a room make the room feel. It has a calming effect for me. No idea how it affects someone else.

This system still needs a Kondo KSL DAC ...

Resonators are very powerful devices for any room, I have been using 9 of them in my various rooms ( from moving ) for the last 15yrs and would never be without.

I have many resonators from Frank. Copper, silver, gold and platinum. I have not yet put them up in my new place. I want to wait until all of my rooms are TOTALLY settled in without ANY enhancements and then insert items ie, the ASI resonators to see their effect. I'm still months away. I have been using them for 10+ years as well.

I don't talk about the resonators to people unless they already understand. As you say, they are very powerful.

It’s amazing how these little things can make an improvement in the sound but I have heard they certainly do.

When I first learned about resonators and after working with them for six months, my conclusion was "air is very sensitive stuff"

yes your spot on that’s why humidity and temperature also effect the sound .
