BEST NEW SPEAKER OF THE YEAR 2007

Stereo Mojo Magazine

"[TANTO should be used] with the best amplification available. Not because they demand it, but because they deserve it."

Sonic Flare Magazine Reviewer

"Regarding the TANTO, enjoying is an understatement."

StreoMojo Magazine Editor

"[With TANTO] Dynamics are almost magical. The sound is absolutely enthralling"

Stereo et Images Magazine TANTO Review

TANTO - VFlex Loudspeakers

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 does not use any crossover, 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

(from 20 to 5000 Hz), TANTO speakers are actually full-range designs with high frequency augmentation.

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 great experience.

STEREO MOJO VERDICT : TANTO WINS MAXIMUM MOJO AWARD!

July 2007 — Stereo Mojo Magazine TANTO review is out. As James L. Darby, editor, says, he was not expecting much from all those claims about the super bass... He was in for a BIG a surprise! In the end, he awarded the TANTO a MAXIMUM MOJO AWARD, and we're proud to announce that we also won the Best New Speaker Of The Year 2007 Award!

Better read the review if you want to know how a sceptic guy became a TRUE BELIEVER and a BIG FAN! In the meantime, here are some excerpts:

"Does it (the bass) convey the feeling and emotion of a large pipe organ? Absolutely! There was no sign of bloat, sloppiness, or even boominess... To tell the truth, as impressive as was the bass, the TANTO's other characteristics were even more impressive"

"I have never heard a speaker that throws a significantly better soundstage - including Quads... The TANTO's are very much in Wilson Watt/Puppy territory in this regard"

"I wish I could point out an area where Mr. Gaboury's speakers were flawed or lacking, but I am at a loss... The Gemme Audio TANTO is musical and satisfying in the extreme."

DAGOGO MAGAZINE EXCEPTIONAL TANTO REVIEW

Our TANTO loudspeakers are praised worldwide, and this new review from DAGOGO Magazine is one the the most in-depth analysis of these unique speakers. The reviewer, Phillip Holmes, also fell in love with the speakers.

Here are a few excerpts:

"I’d rate the soundstaging ability of the Tanto’s to be first-rate... They might be state-of-the-art in this regard."

"Most speakers that start to sound confused at high levels have flimsy cabinets and nasty crossover networks of dubious quality. That’s not an issue with the Tanto’s."

"The good lower midrange of the speaker made listening to Ellington’s and Basie’s sax and trombone section a real delight. I mean, honestly, you could hear so much character from the tenor and baritone sax that it was like listening to a different jazz band."

"I heartily recommend an audition..."

ENJOY THE MUSIC "ENJOYS" THE TANTO!

December 2007 — In a head to head comparison with System Audio Ranger speakers, the TANTO shows its advantages. Even compared to the reference Wilson Benesch much higher priced Act 1 speakers, the TANTO only trails by a small margin on many aspects.

"The Ranger cannot match the Tanto in portraying the slow decay of harmonics that real instruments often display."

"Let's start with the piano – tough as hell to do full justice here – and it's the dynamics that make the difference for this 88-string monster. Rubinstein's famous recording of the Funeral March Sonata [JVC XRCD JM-XR24008] sound amazing on the reference, and the Tanto is not far behind, rich, sonorous, and musical..."

"Let's listen to the wonderful E Power Biggs on the Flentrop Organ at Harvard. The Ranger loses some points as it cannot reach the very lowest notes... The Tanto not only reaches those notes, but produces prodigious volumes of air, moving me to emulate the organist's feet in lock step and sing harmony to boot. The Tanto's rendition of the Prelude in A Minor beggars belief that so much sound can come from such a small box."

"I much admire the Tanto's way with male voices in particular..."

If you are looking for tonal accuracy, micro-dynamics, proper decay of notes, ... About ambiance, air and transparency, our loudspeakers will give you these in spades. Listening to a pair of TANTO will certainly convince you. In the meantime, we invite you to read the complete review by clicking HERE.

ANOTHER HOT REVIEW OF THE TANTO BY SONIC FLARE

October 2007 — We designed the VFlex loudspeakers to offer the deep bass of a full range in smaller, decor friendly enclosures. But over that, we tried to design first-class sounding high-end loudspeakers. With the reviews coming one after the other, we are pleased to see that all reviewers readily agree. We are going in the right direction.

Sandy Greene, the Sonic Flare reviewer describes the sound of the TANTO in great style:

"They image exceptionally well. Vocals are beguiling. Instruments have an easy texture and flowing rythm."

"They... can handle all sorts of scale and dynamics with ease."

We can only tell you, readers, to check for your nearest dealer and have a listen. This ain't a "me too" loudspeaker. Meanwhile, we invite you to read the whole review by clicking here.

CANADA HIFI GREAT TANTO REVIEW

October 2007 — Canada HiFi, the great online and print magazine of the hi-fi community in Canada has posted a hot review of the TANTO speakers. Some comments:

"To say that I enjoyed the sound of the Tanto speakers would be an understatement."

"I enjoyed a sound stage that was truly vast"

"...truly live sound performances"

"Each time I listened to them, I was glued to my chair for longer periods of time"
