| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @soix OK. Thanks for weighing in. | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @soix I’m wondering if you’ve heard Fritz Carbons with Hegel amplification and if so, how you think they’d compare to the Pulsars and Alyssas. | |
| Kind of Blue @tylermunns Actually, I haven’t had the experience you describe. And, as a creative person whose played guitar for 50 years, has a studio art degree in drawing/printmaking and enjoys photography and writing poetry, implying I'm someone who dis... | |
| Kind of Blue I don't understand the more extreme reactions to "labelling" genres of Jazz expressed here. It can be very helpful to know which sub-genre a particular recording falls into, simply for the sake of finding other recordings one might enjoy. This ... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @tjraubacher No reason to apologize. It never occurred to me that you were trying to hide anything. ;o) I simply meant it makes sense to hold off on buying any speakers until you find out whether or not a designated listening room is where you ... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @tjraubacher Your disclosure that you may have enough funds for a separate listening room changes the picture you first presented quite a bit! In that case, it wouldn't make sense to demo/buy speakers until the new room is set up. | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @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 ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 ... and yet another is "Journey’s End" on ECM with John Surman. YouTube only has one track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRyDDBeOWCA&list=RDwRyDDBeOWCA&index=2 BTW, have there been previous discussions of John Surman, ... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @tjraubacher TMR has a pair of Prisms for a lot less $: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisb93j3-joseph-audio-prism-bookshelf-speakers-black-pair-58044-monitors?refsource=hifishark | |
| 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 a... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @tjraubacher You’re welcome. If I had the funds, now, I would probably buy those used Pulsars. BTW, one need not be a "bass freak" to appreciate standmounts that deliver bass that exceeds expectations in terms of the size of the drivers. But eac... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @tjraubacher This: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/joseph-audio-pulsar-original-vs-graphene-opinions Don’t know why it just now occured to me that shipping could add a lot to the upgrade cost! | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @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 wi... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @tjraubacher I also have H390 and am beginning to look towards an eventual stand-mount upgrade. I encountered many very positive reviews of the Allyssa, before reading the Stereophile review. https://www.stereophile.com/content/alta-audio-alys... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A good one! |
