Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker

@stuartk 

yeah I read that review too. A little concerning when that is combined with what @audiojan was saying.

I have been tracking all of the used Pulsars.  The really good deals are already sold. Based on what I have read the Pulsars sound like a pretty spectacular bookshelf. Can’t really justify the new price for them and trying to determine if there are other speakers that compare.

@tjraubacher

If you simply can’t afford it, I get it but compared to the new price for Graphene (12K), the used ones at 5K Plus the $2900 to have Joseph upgrade them to Graphene seems a good deal.

Consider that you might be totally satisfied with them, without the upgrade.

@stuartk 

i can afford the 5K for used Pulsars. Based on the reviews of the regular Pulsars they sound great and I don’t think I would need the graphene upgrade. My bigger issue is trying to figure how to slide the Pulsars into my setup without the wife going nuclear on me. She does not share this passion.

By the way does anybody heard the graphene Pulsars and can speak to what that upgrade adds to the regular Pulsars?

Don’t know why it just now occured to me that shipping could add a lot to the upgrade cost!
