Scuderi Tittarelli showed the Casta Model VC (above left), a 45"-tall floorstander with a horn-loaded 1" compression driver, its midband covered by a 2" unit with "zero compression direct front loading technology" and bass handled by a 15" woofer with Alnico V magnet. It sounded punchy, as you’d expect of a system with 98dB/1W sensitivity, and suitably grand for a speaker selling for €16,000 per pair. Also available is the slightly less imposing Model B, with 8" cellulose woofer.
