Kaiser Kawero or Raidho D3 or Vivid Giya G2?

One thing I don't rave about is" best review "or "best of show stuff". Do you guys really care about this ? aren't they all paid for ?
 
Directly or indirectly Paul....that may often be the case.

No, nothing is paid for but there has been a lot of politics over the years. Look at all the raves Wilson gets. Wilson had it in the 80's, and they still get it today.

Two of my friends are reviewers and that's not what I heard so can't comment on your post.
 
At the end of the day, people should buy with their own ears. Rave reviews from reviewers, dealers, family or friends, may be take in as input but ultimately trust your own ears and your reaction to what's being heard. :peace:
 
So is that the reason Audio Research, Krell, Martin Logan, Wilson, Vandersteen and a few others has remained at the top for the last 30+ years? They paid for all of their rave reviews?

Nobody has paid me for the Zellaton comments here. But if you ever get tired of trading speakers, then try the Zellatons. If you are still dead set against trying Zellatons, then buy the Kaiser Kaweros. You are at least getting the second best out there in the audio world.

Four years ago, many of the Europeans were trading in their MBL's for the Kaweros and has never looked back.
 
I have to hear these two brands. I don't recall ever hearing the Kaiser Kawero's. Were they at CES?

Not a dealer. I live in the Ozarks. No one here owns MBL's or Kaweros. And no Europeans are ever buying Kaweros from anybody here in the states. I am pretty sure it is a German company.

I did a review of the RMAF in 2010 saying the Kaweros were the best at the show on Audiocircle. There was a response from several of the Europeans saying that they had been trading their MBL's in on the Kaweros and was very happy.

if Zellaton was there that year, I missed the room. Zellaton Grands is still slightly better at a much better price.

Here is a review on the Kaweros at $65K. I know for sure this was not paid for.

Kaiser Acoustics Kawero Loudspeakers
 
Hi Ozar,

Thanks for your lovely insight into the Kawero's. I do know its a wonderful speaker and its pretty under-rated in the audiophile arena.....however they are quickly gaining fans and people who properly listen to it to fall in love.....

I am not sure if you had the rumours but I heard from few sources that Kaisers are 'secretly' building a new flagship to rival major players in the market! It could be true.

Anyways my shortlist of speaker auditions is gradually shrinking which is a good think as I am getting somewhere now. On top of my shortlist includes some serious listening with Kaisers Kaweros, Raidho D3, Zellation, Yg Hailey's and Kharma exquisite range.

Hey Mike, if you do get an opportunity you should listen to Kaisers and Zellation's as I would love to hear your impressions and how it compares to you past and current systems.

Alvin - I definitely look forward to hearing them both. Hopefully RMAF will provide that opportunity.

Alvin - interesting read. I've been reading a lot about designs and materials lately. Panzerholz looks like a good product for cabinets. Of course, I'm experimenting with a slightly different idea: the best cabinet is no cabinet. All cone and dome speakers have some degree of cabinet resonance - similar to cupping your hands, putting them a few inches in front of your face, and talking. Once you learn to recognize it in any cone and dome speaker, it can become an annoyance - UNLESS - it is minimized by the cabinet design and materials, sort of like "tuning" the cabinet to essentially resonate as part of the overall sound of the speaker. Harbeth does this well. I've always found the Sonus Faber Stradivari speakers unique design to handle resonances well. But those are few and far between.

That being said, I still need to live with a point source, open baffle design for a while before truly understanding it's benefits and weaknesses.
 
Hi Mike,

I am in the same 'boat' as you are and would love to try few unconventional concepts that different companies are now trying with their design approach. I'm curious about the Goebel Loudspeakers - especially their bending wave tweeters - Have you heard them at any of the shows?

Welcome to GÖBEL - Revolutionary Bending Wave Technology


Anyone else who has experienced Goebel speakers and how they compare with the Raidho's or even Zellation's?
