From the Past to Presence

Well, the Western Electric speaker from Silbatone is a relic from a time long gone. Let's see how some companies try to bring traditional values into present constructions.

Audionemesis - the Italian Job 1

For years Fabio Camorani from Audionemesis has been optimzing his two way construction with Goto drivers and modern materials for the cabinet. I can detect a lot of carbon and graphite here. Thanks to Fabio, I use a Goto tweeter in my home installation, as part of an active horn loudspeaker system.

Kiom - the Italian Job 2

Kiom is actually a group of enthusiasts, woodworker, engineers, etc. They had a small beautifully looking speaker with old-fashioned paper cones on display, the Kiom Minuetto.

Cantico - the Italian Job 3

Cantico revealed their CX15 coaxial loudspeakers on the show. I asked Silvio Germano Ricci why the speaker has a distinct Tannoy touch. He told me, he always has been a Tannoy user, and his aim was to produce a loudspeaker which he liked even better.
