    • Acapella Violon MK-V
    The extraordinary bandwidth is providing an extremely precise reproduction of any kind of music. Even in the lowest frequencies you can feel exact modulation of the overtones. Fine adjustments to the ion tweeter and the midrange horn unit can be made in order to adapt the loudspeaker to every acoustical environment.
    • Scott 310B and 335
    Fully upgraded.
    • Ayon CD2
    Ayon Audio CD-2S lets you hear all of the transient details of the music. You can also hear the full harmonic bloom of the instruments and their very long decay. What is more, these elements emerge within a truly natural perspective—they never run over each other and smear the sound.
    • Bergmann Sindre
    Sindre is a traditional airbearing turntable & airbearing tonearm combination. The platter floats on a thin air film centered by a spindle, and mounted with a linear tracking airbearing tonearm. Sindre is extremely simple to adjust and operate. The air supply is so noiseless, that it can be placed in the listening room.

Hi Morrow, beautiful system. I have an earlier version of the Acapella Violon. I love the speakers, but have had trouble finding a suitable amp to drive them with. At the moment I am using Cary CAD-211's, which are adequately powerful (110W) but lack sufficient drive to get the woofers pumping. I have tried a powerful SS amp (300W) which shows that the woofers actually have plenty go give ... but the top end sounds tinny and horrible.

Given that Acapella themselves frequently demo the speakers with an Einstein 60W OTL amp, which are not very powerful and known not to like low impedance loads ... I am wondering how you are going with your Atma-Sphere M60's. Have you had issues with your bass?

I have put in a lot of effort to get my system sounding right. There is a small club of Acapella Violon owners here on Audiogon, we should get together to share our experiences with this intriguing but challenging speaker :)
