TWENTY-YEAR ANNIVERSARY SERIES 2.12

If you find yourself looking for that extra depth in the bass matched with an astounding 100 dB 1mt./1W you will find that any amplifier will drive this speaker to realistic levels.

A conventional designed cabinet which still has that superb wood trim and of course two 12" bass units and Omniray Horn.

If you have a large room or low powered amplifier but still require a realistic level of bass then its difficult to walk past the 2.12, simply put it is a lot of speaker which doesn't do anything badly but does so many things very well indeed.

I can't say it often enough, almost any amplifier will do with quality favoured over quantity as monster power amplifiers are not required. Zingali's are speakers for music lovers. Fortunately they are also quite pleasing to the eye.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Extreme sensitivity, only a flee powered valve amplifier required to get a realistic volume level. Almost any amplifier can drive these speakers with ease and thats how the music comes across, with ease. you will never really drive these speakers hard so they are always working well within their comfort zone and never sound stressed or fatiguing.

Have a listen to a good emotional female singer like Eva Cassidy. If your jaw dosn't drop then I will be checking for a pulse. grown men have been known to fight back tears before these speakers.

These are not the most expensive speakers nor the most accurate.... but my god, they are magical. If you ever get the chance listen to them, do not refuse the opportunity.

 

 

Zingali loudspeakers have a sound like no other due to the amazing compression driver and Omniray horn. The only way to find out for yourself just how amazing these are is to come and hear for yourself.

 

System Audio SA 1550 There are people who use sound as a source of inspiration and spiritual enlightenment. People who are enraptured by the rhapsody of a symphony orchestra. People who bless the blues from Chicago. People who crave the way guitar greats can make a Stratocaster talk, cry or sing. They feel at home in the subtle, sublime and swinging art of jazz. They can’t resist the blistering tempest of a full-blooded rock orchestra. Or the rarefied tones of baroque. They know intimately every song sung of their favourite vocalist – and treasure every nuance of every note. SA creates loudspeakers for these sorts of people.
People like you. At only £749 these may be the biggest bargain ever for a beautiful speaker

THEIL CS2.4"Excellent...(The CS2.4) dramatically exceeds the performance of speakers of comparable size"- Stereo Sound
"The THEIL CS2.4 is a great loudspeaker, one of the very best I've heard regardless of price" - Soundstage
"At their price, I have never heard anything better... Recommending the CS2.4s is one of the easiest jobs I've had to date/" - Secrets of Home theater and high Fidelity

ProAc Tablette Reference Eight SignaturePossibly the best small speaker in the world, we know of no other speaker this small with genuine audiophile quality. No expense has been spared sourcing expensive drive units for this design and boy does it show!

To sum up: Clean and detailed sound, especially beguiling in the midrange; convincing soundstage, with rock-steady image; plays loud without losing sonic balance; superbly made

ATC SCM 50 ASL I was instantly drawn into musical events. Music was occurring in my room. My experience was of a live event, even if the recording was made in a studio. For me, almost any live musical event has an excitement, whether I like the music or not. When the music is performed with particular feeling, it not only captures your attention, but it captures your heart and plays the strings of your emotions. - Positive Feedback extract

Zingali Home Monitor 212-IIHave a listen to a good emotional female singer like Eva Cassidy. If your jaw dosn't drop then I will be checking for a pulse. grown men have been known to fight back tears before these speakers.

"Within seconds, I sank into a state of bliss. It may have been the music, the volume (just shy of "live"), or the heat in the room (from 150 glowing tubes!), but whatever it was, I remained transfixed for the next 45 minutes"
- Soundstage The 2002 Jimmy Awards

Gryphon PoseidonThere are Loudspeakers and then there is the Gryphon Poseidon, In our opinion the best loudspeaker system in the world bar none.

I could say the Poseidon's are awesome and amazing, but more than that they are truly majestic and magical. So often the quality of a product is overstated by reviewers in order to make a magazine review seem more interesting. It would be most difficult to overstate the sonic abilities of the Poseidon.
