Yes. I'll have pictures later with the drivers. Our Dallas customer is looking forward to hearing them.

Close enough to where I had the best steak ever, Fort Worth.

Speaking of steak, here's some filet mignon for you...

"Close enough to where I had the best steak ever, Fort Worth."

Would that be Del Frisco's?

No.1 on my list.

Who can think about steak at a time like this? They look great, Rick. Can't wait to unpack them.

I think it was called Fitzgerald's or something like that. Not in the Cattle Yard area but in the middle of downtown.

Rick, I may need to send you some silk, to wrap those babies.

How much are these?

This looks like serious competition to Tanzanite and RC3R.

Crossover parts have arrived and I'll be finished in a few days with the designs.

Magnifico (center channel) $2,350/each as pictured, some exotic veneers will add $100-150

Tempesta $3,195/pr. (standard cabinets) to $4,195/pr. (as pictured), some exotic veneers will add $200-$250

The Tanzanite and RC3R have both been very successful and the Tempesta takes the design concept to a new level.

Rick, I've been wondering about these since I saw them posted on your website.
I think I need to have them.
What do these do that the Prestigio or Cima can't.

The 3-way format gives a wider vertical coverage and image width. With a MTM like the Cima or Prestigio the vertical coverage is more restricted but the Tempesta isn't limited in that way. The mids have greater detail and the bass is more extended. All three drivers represent the best performance possible in the ranges that they cover.

Is the Tempesta intended for use with a subwoofer?

We can build it sealed (low "Q" alignment) or ported. The sealed version (pictured here) is designed to be used with a subwoofer; however, it still has pretty good bass extension. The ported version doesn't need a subwoofer, -3db point in the 40-45hz range.
