Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker

I made a point of hearing the Alyssa's at AXPONA this year. I visited the room twice and unfortunately the demo music was always focused on their amazing bass reproduction, to a fault I thought. I would have liked to hear something a bit more balanced to see how they perform across the spectrum. Not knocking them by any means, but it does seem like a speaker that you want to hear before you buy it. 

Noting the previous post, I also visit a room with the Triangles, it was really good, and yes lively.

@airwatcher I’d recommend listening to the Joseph Audio Pulsars if you can.  Given what you described they may well be that best of both worlds speaker you’re looking for.  Just my $0.02 FWIW.

I heard all three Alta Audio speakers shown at Axpona. All of them had the same issue. It sounded like the midrange driver did not correctly meet the tweeter making vocals seem recessed / distant / veiled. There was a suckout that just didn't work for me. The Stereophile measurements of the Alyssa not only show the suckout, but a peak at about 1.5k that make it even more obvious. It was clearly audible. I am with @soix , go with the Pulsars.

Hey I am in concurrence with the Pulsars. They seem like the right fit.

I listened to Alyssa speakers at Axpona.  I was really impressed.  Obviously it was in a hotel room but I sat front and center and the sound was solid.   Leonard Cohen and Sharon Robinson singing By the Rivers Dark: sublime.   When I upgrade my speakers I will give them a serious critical listen, but the glimpse I saw at Axpona was memorable.
