A visit today to Sensible Audio's Lito Gelano's place in Dasma Village allowed me to have a much awaited listening session with the 4-way front loaded 104db horn speakers that has twin isobaric woofers per speaker, according to the technical specs. In the mid 90s when these speakers first arrived at the Listening Room in Megamall, it was described as the 'giant blue tooth', from afar it resembles just that, a tooth. :) It is massive, as one can imagine, and is described as the 'love it or hate it looks' in terms of aesthetics. It's quite a unique design, especially in terms of shape.

A farther view...

Image

The 'mammoths' were driven by the new ARC HD220 Hybirds, with the SP 11 as the pre-amp. Needless to say, the sound was HUGE, projecting life-size imaging qualities that would be a treat to 'horn' fans.

The ARC Family RACK:

Image

Let me see....From top to bottom, on the left side: Power supply for the SP11 pre-amp, LS 26 pre-amp, CD-7 CD player, SP 11 main pre-amp, I forgot what was on the bottom. :) Right side, top to bottom: HD 220 hybrid amp, 2 mono blocks of the M-300, in front of it a D-125 amp with black faceplate....and oh, flanking it in both sides are the Celestion SL700 loudspeakers. Those flat speaker cables are by Nordost.

RE-SEARCHING THE AUDIO RESEARCH... :lol:

Took a day off and went South for a lightning visit to Señor Sensible's place and found out that he has the latest and most extreme Audio Research preamps in the planet. :) It was so new I had to 'research' and 're-search' everything! :lol: TOUCH SCREEN ALA ANDROID PHONE. BAKA MALINAW SA CALL AND TEXT DIN. :)

ARC REFERENCE PHONO 2:

The ORACLE sayeth: "Buy me..." I can only say: "Not me.." :lol:

Image

As I have not been in this room for a long time, I ca only say in this brief listening session that the sound is generally very smooth, grainless, and very musically pleasing to the ears. Viva El Señor Sensible! :clap:

Señor's Sensible's Space

THE PACO CHAPTER

Aside from his audio abode in Dasmarinas Village and a shop in Makati Cinema Square, Señor Sensible also owns a store/showroom/warehouse in Paco along Quirino Ave. Extension. I've been there a few times, most notably to audition my former amp, the VS110 ten years ago.

Yesterday afternoon, I got a call from Morita to help him install the Transfiguration Proteus cartridge which Señor has procured and will demo in the coming Hi Fi Show.

The Antechamber: :lol:

Image

System set up above includes the Genesis 5 loudspeakers, Sonus Cremona Auditor monitors. Below, the ARC VS115 amplifier, ARC Reference Phono 2 SE, Reference 5 SE line stage, Oracle Delphi VI with SME 4 tonearm, and the Transfiguration Proteus MC cartridge.


Image

ARC VS115 amp using the KT120 power tubes.

ARC Reference Series Line and Phono stage:

The Oracle VI with SME IV and Proteus cartridge:

Image

The Proteus, behind it is a bust of a great composer telling it not to 'bust out'. :D

Image


Proteus lying on its back, waiting to be 'screwed'...into the SME headshell. :lol: It's a dirty job and somebody's got to do it. And that somebody is me. :D

Image


Image

A whole rack(s) of audio candies. :lol:

Image

Image

Had to leave before the night fell, or the Oracle will be casting a spell on me. :lol: The sound was pretty good off the box will have broken in when the Show starts in a couple of weeks. There may be a need to 'prodeus' $$$$ to procure the Proteus as well. :D
