Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker

@tjraubacher 

That's a tough one. It's hard to make someone care about something they don't naturally discern/value. 

One of the youtube reviewers drove the Alyssa's with an H190 and H 390, which caught my attention. He didn't mention anything about lack of clarity in the lower mids, though.

I could be mistaken. At  any rate, I recalled you were very positive about the Hegel + Pulsar pairing.

TMR has a pair of Prisms for a lot less $:

I was all set to order these before I realized they weren’t the Pulsars. What a deal that would have been. Kind of got my eyes locked in on the Pulsars.

@tjraubacher

I’d guess the prospect of getting Pulsars for that price isn’t a "deal" so much as an impossibility.

Perhaps if you can’t bring yourself to spend 5K it would make more sense to set a budget you’re more comfortable with and proceed from there?

Several pairs of original Pulsars sold for under $4000 over the past year so a little patience may be all that’s needed as they do come up fairly frequently.
