Anyone heard Zingali speakers from Italy


Anyone audition this speaker line?? Zingali speakers from Italy have basically three lines. The hi-end line is called Overture Series, and another slightly less expensive line. Besides beuatiful cabinet work, they use a compression horn driver in combination with standard cone drivers. They have gotten some attention overseas, and at recent hi-fi Expos in Canada and US. Thank you, Jimbo

I heard some of their speakers at the Tuscanny, the "unofficial" venue of the 2002 CES. The distributor had a comprehensive display of Zingalis that were ALL hooked up to a comprehensive display of Audion components.

I was most impressed with the largest speaker there (I think it was the HM112-about 11k retail). It was being driven by a pair of Audion Silver Knights, 300b push pull- 20 watts. The sound(stage) was immense, had effortless dynamics, and with finesse' that is unusual for a horn design. I would go as far as to say that it was one of the best sounds I heard at the show.
I have owned a pair of Zingali Overture 2S (two way speakers on stands). Nice speakers with an excellent integration of horn and woofer. Because of their high sensitivity you can easily use high quality amplifiers with modest power (25W per channel is enough).
I agree with Ultrakaz. I attended "The Show" at the Tuscanny Hotel in Las Vegas and was particularly impressed with the HM-112 model. The speaker certainly played big and was very dynamic. The HM-112 speakers were placed rather far apart and yet, the mids were deep and resounding, very impressive with a Big Band cd recording.
