Yes as touched upon by Doc the Italians do make pretty loudspeakers and they do seem to like the use of real wood......
Havent heard many Italian speakers, but i fell in love with mine once i heard em.
They are very neutral and at 92db S are very easy to drive.
Horns & Heavy.
Typicaly Italian in build.

Re: Diapason Karis
What's that big hole in the front for?
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way...The time has gone, The song is over, Thought I'd something more to say...
Re: Diapason Karis
Its not a port Dave - That big hole according to the manual is in fact an "Omni Ray Horn"._D_S_J_R_ wrote:What's that big hole in the front for?
The port is the oblong aperture above the bi wirable speaker terminals.

Sounds more like some sort of Death Ray weapon from an old Sci-Fi B Movie.
