Anybody compare the latest Audience 1+1 V5 speakers with Alta Audio Alyssas?

IMO they’re just polishing the turd and there are many better alternatives at that price as mentioned above, but it’s your $$$.

I am going to have to agree with @soix on the Audience 1+1 (not sure which version), but I found them to be much as described. Veiled, dynamically limited, highs lacking.

The Alta Audio Alyssas are substantially better, but they still have their problems. Mostly in an over bloated mid-bass. I have liked other Alta Audio speakers. 

Has anyone actually listened to the V5 version?

I have the V5 version and what I am hearing is totally opposite to what these gentleman have experienced. They are among the best bookshelves I have heard regardless of price. I am using a bigger and much more expensive pair of stand mount speakers now, Raidho td1.2 but still can’t sell the Audience. The Raidho project a bigger image but apart from that, sometimes I missed the sound of the v5.
