    CRESCENDO.jpg


    Following the success of the Adagio and Adagio Jr. Loudspeakers, Acoustic Zen Technologies set forth to create another ground-breaking loudspeaker design based on our no compromise philosophy.

    The CRESCENDO Loudspeaker, our newest 3-way full range loudspeaker model features the two 5-inch midrange drivers, two 8-inch woofers, and one horn loaded ribbon tweeter all in a transmission line design. The sound is remarkably clear, accurate, and life like.

    The sight of such expensive cabling plugged into little tiny home depot powerstrips makes me smile. Expensive PCs remind me of snakes.

    It all looks good though.

    I need a hanky. And some more time alone.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Nice lookin' pad, but I would imagine that the acoustics would be FUBAR.

    I was just thinking the same thing.

    There are some truly awesome views from houses around Tucson of the mountains, city, and desert that would blow that away.

    I'm one of those guys that feels that the atmosphere/mood created by the space you're in can have a dramatic over-all effect on 'the experience'.

    I would have to agree...

    My system sounds better with a nice fire and a glass or three of Chivas.
