Alta Audio Alyssa

This is the magical speaker that Steve Stone reviewed for TAS. It is the actual pair in Rosewood. I can't explain how fine these are, but Steve can if you search for the review done a few months ago. Alta Speakers is the site. 

"During my career as an audio reviewer, I’ve reviewed and owned many fine loudspeakers. Some, like the Dunlavy SC VI and Quad ESL 57, were in my systems for years. Also, during that time I’ve had an opportunity to hear almost every major manufacturer’s flagship offerings at the many audio shows I’ve attended. This being acknowledged, I’ve rarely experienced a loudspeaker that is both as revealing and as easy to listen to for extended periods of time as the Alyssas. In comparison the Alyssas are as musical as the Quad 57s, but with far better harmonic integration and frequency extension. They are also as detailed as the big Dunlavy’s (the SC-VI were 450 pounds each), but with far greater musicality."  Steve Stone TAS
