To keep the cabinet size down to suit a normal living room, we refrained from using a horn in the bass section in favour of the large radiating area of two W 250 S at 8 Ohm in a sealed enclosure.
As a special feature the Fiesta 25 comes equipped with a slightly altered DK 8 P 100 V/15 W midrange pressure chamber horn. The driver's characteristics between 500 and 500 Hz were quite astonishing. Alteration of the driver is accomplished in no time and is described in our building instruction. For high frequencies the proven HTH 8.7 horn tweeter is added.
The unusual combination of these drivers is not without problems and requires a careful design of the crossover, in order to achieve the ambitious goal of producing a loudspeaker that complies with hi-fi standards. Even though a frequency response as flat as with conventional speakers is not possible, the sound is remarkable. The Fiesta 25 produces a pleasant sound - from extremely detailed tops over clear and open mids down to deep and punchy bass. In contrast to standard loudspeakers the Fiesta 25 is - if required - easily capable of shaking a living room with extreme peaks and threatening, sustained high volumes. A well controlled directionality of the relatively focused horns ensures that appropriate recordings are reproduced with precise positioning and depth of the instruments, under the condition that the listener has taken a seat in the hot spot between the speakers.
To sum it up it can be said: this loudspeaker is great fun with definite hi-fi qualities.
