FSI 2008 Press Report
ENJOY THE MUSIC MAGAZINE

"I was enthralled by the Acoustic Revive Audio loudspeaker here at Montreal last year. Imagine my delight at hearing Gamut's CD3 player and new, smaller Si 100 integrated amplifier driving Acoustic Revive's new Katana floorstanding loudspeaker (€9300) with ceramic drivers. Dressed in piano gloss black, this upscale model surpassed my recollection of last year's experience of the original Tanto in musicality, as well as physical beauty. This was easily one of the Best Rooms at the show this year."
— Rick Becker

Tone Audio reviews the Tanto
They looked at it, listened to it, and finally acquired the review pair!

They called the midrange magic, said the bass had a lot of texture, and in short, highly musical. These are indeed the goals we had when designing our speakers.

TANTO - VFlex Loudspeakers



Tanto betekent “veel” in het Italiaans". Deze naam is echt toepasselijk voor een luidspreker die de laagste noten van een pijp-orgel kan reproduceren en een klein audiotorium kan vullen met levendig klanken zonder ook maar ooit hun compositie te verliezen.

De Tanto is een 1.5 weg full range luidspreker, met een 16.5 cm mid/bass driver en een 19 mm Ring Radiator Tweeter. De mid/bass driver heeft géén crossover, de tweeter heeft slechts één capacitor in de signaalweg. Aangezien de mid/bass driver rechtstreeks verbonden is met de versterker en het volledige midden en laag gebied (tussen 20 en 5000Hz) voor zijn rekening neemt, zijn TANTO speakers eigenlijk full-range designs. TANTO kunnen, naast laag vermogen versterkers, ook aangestuurd worden met hoog vermogen versterkers, zonder tekenen van stress of agressiviteit in het geluid.

Stereo et Images Magazine TANTO Review

NEW TANTO v.2

TANTO v.2 loudspeakers are new for 2008, and they add spectacular improvements to this award-winning loudspeaker. The cabinet has been improved even more, with tighter and more rigid mortise and tenon construction. They now sport the new sleek and elegant look of the top model KATANA speakers, and they can be ordered in luxurious piano black finish for the first time. Gorgeous rosewood or ebony veneers are also available. Performance has also been enhanced with the new VFlex Extreme bass loading architecture, which offers a tunable bass port to match most types of room. Finally, at the request of many customers, we added a double pair of our newly developed, multi-function, binding posts to enable bi-wiring/bi-amping capabilities.
 
Tanto means “a lot” in Italian". This name seems quite appropriate for loudspeakers that can reproduce the lowest notes of a pipe organ, and fill a small auditorium with vivid sound without ever loosing their composure.
   
Tanto are 1.5 way full range loudspeakers, featuring a 16.5 cm mid/bass driver and a 19 mm Ring Radiator Tweeter. The main driver is used in a full range configuration, while a single capacitor is used with the high frequency driver unit. Since the mid/bass driver is directly connected to the amplifier, and totally covers the bass and medium range (from 20 to 5000 Hz), TANTO speakers are actually full-range designs with high frequency extension. TANTO loudspeakers can withstand many hundreds of watts without stressing, never sounding aggressive. They will be be the perfect companions to high power, quality solid state amps.

 

Using VFlex loading, Tanto reproduce live music with incredible accuracy and with an uncanny sense of "being there". Their soundstage and imaging is equal to the best, achieving headphone resolution, making you literally "hear the room".

Tanto loudspeakers will load all but the biggest room sizes, and truly offer a hair-raising musical experience.
