has anyone heard zingali overture 1's? de capo's?

I've heard the Zingali 1, 2, and 4, and I just have not been able to get into this speaker line. And my preference is for horn speakers in general. They are absolutely gorgeous in appearance, but they sound thin and disparate to my ear. It's like the music is coming in parts, but not well blended as a whole. I too have heard them with the Audio Note 300B SET's, and I wish they did it for me, because looking at them all day would be a treat. I'm sorry, but I don't have experience with your other speaker considerations.

To further quantify my comments, I have to say that after hearing the Zingali's on three separate occasions, it was at last the fourth listen that finally grabbed me. This time, in place of the CD player was a Nottingham Spacedeck TT. The sound eased from the speakers in a magical way, much more fluid and engaging than I had ever heard previously from (nearly) this same system. I did not get to hear more than two songs, and both were jazz, but at last I heard the Zingali's (the Overture 2, in fact) sound as described by some fans. The midrange was indeed silky. I can't say what they would do with all kinds of music, but what a pleasure to hear them sound so good in this instance, thanks to the vinyl seduction!
