Giorgio Di Salvo is credited with the custom sound design at Oblicuo Hi-Fi. His contribution spans the main horn loudspeakers and the supporting equipment that serves the room.
Di Salvo’s system centres on two bespoke three-way cabinets with 15-cell horns and 15-inch bass drivers. The room also uses custom ceiling speakers and purpose-built amplification.

Inside the system
Giorgio Di Salvo’s bespoke system combines two three-way bass-reflex mains with Altec-style 15-cell horns, Alnico compression drivers and 15-inch bass units. Vintage JBL 075 supertweeters extend the main configuration, while two custom two-way coaxial cabinets serve ceiling positions.
Amplification includes a 10 W single-ended valve unit and a 15 W Class A unit, with buffered volume and input control. A Condesa Carmen rotary mixer and Technics SL-1210 complete the source and control side. The horn mains and smaller coaxials give different parts of the room distinct speaker arrangements.
