Anthony Grimani made a presentation recently at the San Diego Music and Audio Guild, talking about all the recent work on speaker design and measurements, how they correlate to listener preferences, and how Grimani Systems applies all of that in our new speakers. He brought a pair of our Tau active tower speakers, and tuned them to the presentation room with their built-in DSP EQ.

Uneven bass coverage: Some seats have more bass than other.
Bass waves fill a room and crash around the walls, ceiling and floor just like storm waves would in a harbor…
Narrow coverage in panel speakers (H and V). You have to sit right on axis to hear the full sound spectrum, and the sweet spot is narrow.
Large panel radiator speakers seem so mythical thanks to their “low mass” radiator materials…
Grimani Systems is conducting a demonstration at the Moscow Hifi and High End Show, in partnership with AP technology, its Russian distributor. The show runs from April 14 to 17, at the Aquarium Hotel in the Crocus City area…
Vertical Lobing in line array speakers: The sound quality and clarity changes as you listen at different heights in the room.
Line arrays have uneven sound quality and response in the middle and high frequencies, despite what their manufacturers would want you to hear…
Speaker drivers (Tweeters, Mids, Woofers) blown right out of the box: The sound is bad and YOU have to fix it.
You would hope that final QC at the factory would catch defective products, but some do get through, and now you have just joined the QC team…
Insufficient bass headroom: The bass peaks just aren’t loud enough for full impact
It’s simple; you need to play at least 110dB of clean and tight bass in a home cinema to get listeners to crack a smile. Many home theaters have plainly anemic bass that tops out at 90dB; barely enough to get any reaction…
In a recent company newsletter Anthony Grimani of Grimani Systems cited some of his biggest home theater frustrations, and not surprisingly, smooth bass topped his list…
Center channel speakers with horizontal lobing: The mid-frequency sound is different across the room, and dialog lacks clarity
The typical Center speaker is made of two woofers and one tweeter. The two woofers launch waves into the room, which at some frequencies will cancel each other out when you aren’t right in front of the speaker…
Grounding issues and hum loops: There is often hum in system, and it is hard to fix it.
Most have been there: The project has gone just too dang smoothly. The gear arrived on time, the construction schedule was maintained – karma, chi, and wha are in balance…
Uneven bass response: Some frequencies are much louder than others.
This topic comes from our list of the top 50 recurring problems in home theater systems – gathered over the last 25 years from more than 1,000 high-performance installation projects…
This past October at CEDIA in Dallas, Grimani returned to the show with fully operational, full-size production units of his CinemaOne Audio Ensemble…
…Grimani Systems is providing an all-encompassing loudspeaker, system design and calibration, and acoustical services package for the discerning audio enthusiasts. Spearheaded by acclaimed system designer and acoustician Anthony Grimani, as well as cofounder Manny LaCarrubba, who developed the CinemaOne Audio Ensemble and Conic Section Array waveguide, Grimani’s CinemaOne System is a fully networked audio system…
On the audio side Grimani Systems launched new, 3-way active “Cinema Audio Ensembles” for custom installations. The speakers are unique in many ways, including a claimed 180-degrees of horizontal dispersion extending even into the normally directional treble range.
The new Beta speaker from Grimani Systems was the subject of the best two‐channel demo I heard at CEDIA 2015. Granted, the speakers are designed to be only a part of a complete surround system, but at the show, a pair of Betas got to strut their stuff in a traditional stereo configuration.
Usually when someone touts a revolution in speaker design, it’s not really revolutionary and its advantages underwhelm. Thus, despite the reputation of audio expert Anthony Grimani, I doubted that his new line of speakers, sold under the Grimani Systems brand, would impress me much.
Well-known home cinema designer Anthony Grimani and inventor/acoustician Manny La Carrubba are launching a new company, called Grimani Systems (Booth 1041), and introducing the CinemaOne Audio Ensemble, a turnkey audio system for large-room home cinemas.
