Hello from Italy!


Hello,

I'm a new member of this forum.

I live in Italy and I'm an hi-fi entusiast since 80s.

In the last years I've developed a hi-fi system that should be used even for home theater although it is mainly conceived for standard stereo hi-end reproduction.

I started using commercial of the shelf appliances in the late 80s that were progressively replaced by devices developed and built by myself: now the only "off the shelf" item in my system is a SACD Player (DVD963SA).
All other things (amplifiers, electronic crossovers, loudspeakers) have been developed and built entirely by me: I joined this philosophy after repeated unsatisfactory purchasing of both electronics and speakers. None of them were what I expected and almost none respected the specifications, so that I decided to provide by myself!
I think that I was right and that the my current system is a good value for money compared to what the market offers.

The current system is as follow:

- Source DVD963SA
- Pre-amplifier: custom build using a Luxman L1 chassis
- Amplifiers:
..-2 x 4 way custom built amplifiers for front loudspeaker Driving (each one delivering 500Wrms 40-125Hz, 350Wrms 125-400Hz, 250Wrms 400-4500Hz, 150Wrms 4500-20kHz)
..-2 x 800Wrms custom modified NAD2200PE for Subwoofer driving
- Electronic Crossovers:
..-2 x 4 Way inside each multichannel 4Way amplifier with specific speaker correction for the front speakers
..-1 x Subwoofer crossover with selectable hi-pass frequency, level, phase. Includes a Subsonic filter and a correction network to linearize the Subwoofer response.
-Loudspeakers:
..-front firing: 4 way multiamplified. 2 x 10" long throw (40-125Hz) reflex loaded , 1x 10" composite cone SP loaded (125Hz-400Hz), 1 x 4" cone midrange SP loaded (400-4500Hz, Siare 16VR8), 1 x 1" Dome Tweeter (over 4500Hz, ScanSpeak D3004-660000)
..-Subwoofer: 6th order system 150+550liters enclosures, recently upgraded with 2x 15" Acoupower drivers, tuned @14Hz and @32Hz ( one of the Carlos Beltran's fabulous creations!).

The alignement and the performances of the whole system both in developmental phase and during the in-room tuning has been performed using a signal analyzer developed (HW and SW) by me some years ago.
It provides for signal generation (using a DDS Sythesis), Analysys (by means of FFT, Waterfall, Time domain energy decay esteem, THD, MOL), and speaker T/S automated parameters retreival.

My favourite listenings are classic music (symphonic and organ in particular), crossover and soundtracks.
My favourite labels among others are Telarc and Reference-Recordings.

I expect to get new ideas from this forum and to share my modest experience with who may be interested.

Luigi
