SPEAKER HIGH-END
Zingali loudspeakers alone in the world feature the patented Omniray
technology, unique porting, and the circular horn free of colouration
with long throat and compact depth. Perhaps most critically, all
Zingali Hi-Fi speakers employ the compression driver which is so
expensive to make but far exceeds the sensitivity and power, speed and
sweetness, dynamic and frequency range which render cheaper moving coil
drivers into a series of compromises.
When you are ready for Zingali, you need to make only one decision:
which model?
As usual, constraints of cost and room size apply … but that’s where
the conventional wisdom ends.
The Omniray principle means that there is very little beaming and
stereo sweet spots. Zingali loudspeakers are very room friendly.
Domestic placement along with the carved wood beauty make these
speakers very wife-friendly. That is a feature of Italian loudspeakers
in general, but for the reasons described here, the engineering and
sonic qualities of Zingali differentiate the range from its
compatriots. The others are not alternatives, musically.
Although Zingali do not actively promote reviews and product placement,
they have won major awards from Italy to Japan. Distinguished musicians
include users from Paul McCartney to Sting, and professionals from the
Italian Film Industry Awards to Sony-Columbia main studios in Tokyo. We
know which models they have chosen, so what about you? If you are on a
lesser budget, take heart, because the value is about 50% of the
competition. Moreover, the efficiency and easy load means that modest
amplifiers may be used. If there is a description to epitomise Zingali,
it is not the detail, the bass, or any Hi-Fi terms. It is the uncanny
sense of the living acoustic event coming back to life. To audition
Zingali loudspeakers you may have to travel for a dealer who is
motivated by pride rather than profit; but you will have reached for
once and for all your destination. Prelude
