Hey, that's my bedroom... That's private!
All three frequency bands driven in parallel - must be some amp.

They forgot the (new) subwoofers. 380 pounds (173 kg) and $35K each. With VU meters, of course.

Why? That's normal for passive crossovers.

Those are too cheap.
The $100K cable is the best
I love their equipment stands!

Unless you like highs too much,cause everywhere else are meh to say the least.Not just these,it's an Acapella thing.
Want big horns?Go Blumenhofer.
Want good looking ones (stunning actually) . Go hORNS.

I believe Mr. Carson would frown upon that.Maybe depends whether they are allowed to play music while they dust?

what an insulting waste of money, specs and performance no better than the $600 13" Outlaw sub I have sitting in front of me. At least a Porsche laps the Nurburgring in a measurably excellent time.They forgot the (new) subwoofers. 380 pounds (173 kg) and $35K each. With VU meters, of course.

Compared to PS2K, PS1K looks odd in a sense.They forgot the (new) subwoofers. 380 pounds (173 kg) and $35K each. With VU meters, of course.

Have you heard this specific Acapella speaker the Hyperion? It sounds very good no deep horn sound like many other horn speakers.
Blumenhofer is essentially a nice looking good PA speaker with compression driver and PA Bass driver(s) and conventional crossover frequencies. On top their biggest speaker Gran Gioia MK 3 is way smaller. The Hyperion has a wide range midrange dome (3" I guess) driver at the special horn and 4 15" low resonance bass drivers. The whole speaker has many detail optimizations. I think you can hear the effort.
The biggest hOrns speaker is the Uniwersum MK 4 which is also way smaller. The midrange concept is more similar but I am skeptical if they offer a sound without the typical horn honk? Or like many others a better PA speaker sound? Without a doubt the bass and treble should have no chance in comparison with the Hyperion and I guess the midrange is also not on that level.
How comes you dismiss the Hyperion? I only hear praise form every side and I totally agree that they are very very good speakers.
These are mine. Unfortunately the varnish has browned over the years so they don't look as contrasty grain as when they were made.

Nope,their biggest is DV-3.My best friend has it,I have mentioned it many times in the past here and at his config with the 3 woofers is 2 meters high with the declined horn.
Bigger than this Acapella overall in size.
Yes,I have heard all their speakers I think,the common denominator was always hot highs (even more than the typical B&W "showroom sound" ) and lean bass.They are a lot more PA-ish from mid and lower than Blumen to my ears.
Tune Audio Anima, what a treat.
I've heard one of their more conventional small towers, which was fun. If you care to say, what is the sound like, particularly the low end? Or if you have posted in another thread/elsewhere? I have occasional fantasies about their Pulse bass speaker.
Does one need to establish an industrial electric service account for the separate circuitry not to overload the network?

From what you wrote you have only heard the older Acapellas which where developed by Alfred Rudolf, the newer ones are developed by Richard Rudolf his son and are quite a step forward. More balanced sound and more bass extension.
Ah I missed the DV-3 it seems to be discontinued? Nice looking horn but still a compression driver...
