Description

The system enables the listener to dream and to escape to the concert event. 
It acts as an emotion making device that improves quality of life.

A gift that keeps on giving!

Components Toggle details

    • Aries Cerat Kassandra MkII Gen 1 DAC
    A DAC like no other - music starts from this masterpiece. 

    Only vinyl via Aries Cerat Talos phono stage has bettered it (as well as the more expensive Aries Cerat DACs). 

    Simply cannot imagine a truly high-end system being complete without the emotion making machine of Aries Cerat. 
    • Aries Cerat Impera Signature 2 Preamp
    The Impera Signature 2 Preamp uses the Aries Cerat Inverted Triode technology for the ultimate achievement in musical presentation 
    Words are hard to describe the sound.
    • Aries Cerat Ianus Essentia Power Amp (Dual Mono)
    Ianus Essentia (40W) (Dual Mono)

    Uses the innovative Triode-Fet technology of Aries Cerat.
    Single Ended Design - It is not only Single Ended, but it is also a Single Stage! There is no driver stage and no input stage!

    After listening to this amplifier, all other amps (almost all other) sound flawed.
    It delivers so much purity and a presentation that is so alive that you are transported to the concert hall.
    • Aries Cerat Stentor
    The one and only pair of Stentors ever made. 

    A privilege to be able to listen to this most magnificent pair of box loudspeakers.

    Thank you to Stavros Danos of Aries Cerat for the design and trust.

@defstathiou  Congrats for your beautiful Aries Cerat system.
I am myself very interested in the new Ianus Essentia monos but can they drive difficult load speakers like my Thiel CS 3.7s ?
I'm pretty sure they will have no trouble but i will have to demo before making any decision.
I would also pick the Impera ll Ref to have a full Aries Cerat pre-power.
By the way i'm very familiar with the Impera ll Ref + Concero 65 monos.

Dear Orfeo,

Indeed Aries Cerat electronics and speakers take musical reproduction to another level.

I have since added an Aries Cerat Impera Signature Pre-Amp, and the Aries Cerat Ianus Essentia power amps, for an all Aries Cerat system - a real joy! (time to update the photos).

The Aries Cerat Stentor is an extremely musical speaker - this is the only pair made by Aries Cerat. As I understand it, the manufacturing cost was too high to make it a production model (its retail price should have been >euro 30,000). It is a sealed box boss design delivering fast bass, with a Raal ribbon tweeter, and a non-horn conventional midrange driver. Of course the genius of Stavros Danos is in the crossover design that delivers a live musical experience - such is the integration between the drivers. Of course the Symphonia horn speaker is at an altogether different level but also at a different price!

Enjoy your wonderful system too!

(please excuse my bad English; my Greek is even worse ;-)

Wow, THAT is a system to be heard, it seems!
My main system in town has some similarities with yours: YBA 1 CD player, Ares Cerat Incito preamp, YBA Signature stereo power amp (the pictures in the link are not pics of *my* system though).
The introduction of an Aries Cerat component in my system (Incito preamp, replaced my YBA 1 preamp) transcended it.

Your speakers seem very special. I wonder why Aries Certa didn't continue to produce this speaker. What about the midrange? Cone used? Is it high sensistivity?
Their Symphonia horn speaker is unbelievable. But not cheap.

(εϊμαι απο το Μπέλγιο ;-)
After 25 trips in Greece, if one day I come to Cyprus, I'd like very much to visit you and listen to your system ;-)

Wow what an awesome looking system! I've always wanted to hear YBA their Signature gear must sound fantastic! And Aries Cerat gets so much buzz lately looks like great gear and made in Cyprus to boot. Really cool lovely room also thanks so much for sharing!
