Acoustic Zen Crescendo
There is something fundamentally right about the Crescendo, a three- way, 5-driver transmission-line design. It speaks with one voice, a rarity for any multi-driver system, and obviously the consequence of superb driver integration. The transition from the bass to the midrange is seamless. It maintains a realistic tonal weight while doing justice to the power range of an orchestra. After reviewing the Crescendo in Issue 229, this loudspeaker continues to re-calibrate my expectations in the bass range. Tympanic strikes are peerless in control and definition. While the Crescendo lacks ultimate bass extension, it makes up for that by superlative time-domain performance.
