Hi Bob.
I see that you sell Constellation. If you have had the opportunity to listen to the combo, what is the synergy between Alsyvox and Constellation Amplifier?
I received some movies from Taiko Audio.
Alsyvox is the best ideal speakers for me.
Very amazing~!!!
I want to import Alsyvox, but they already have Korean dealer.
My next speakers will be Alsyvox Botticelli X I hope.
Rhapsody, congratulations for importing Alsyvox~!!
I bet it still sounds good in the next room, listening through the open doorway, with no line-of-sight to the speakers! All you can hear would be the reflected sound, and I bet it still sounds FAR more realistic than from "conventional" speakers. Imo this bodes EXTREMELY well for long-term fatigue-free listening, as it shows the ear isn't having to process spectral discrepancies between the first-arrival sound and the reverberant sound. So, I bet you can listen to the Alsyvox's all day long for three days (like at an audio show) with zero listening fatigue.
These are all good indications of realism. I have "conventional" speakers and have been listening to them from our dining room, through the open doorway and small front entrance hall, while my daughter and I put together custom wooden jigsaw puzzles during this stay at home order. The sound is very convincing, although it only became so, both within the room and from outside the room after I repositioned the speakers to face straight ahead, with zero toe-in. There is much more recording venue or hall ambience information now audible. It was an excellent suggestion from a fellow WBF member. The tweeters are about 5' out from the front wall. Listening position is 9'-3" from the tweeter.
I have little experience with panel or dipole speakers, but a friend has Martin Logans and has them toed in toward the listener with lots of open space behind each speaker, much more than the 1.5-2M suggested here. I do not have a sense of any backwave sound hitting the listener. I suspect they would sound quite different in a more conventional room with front corners, though I really don't know.
Hi Peter,
I HATE posting these videos as they don't even come close to what it sounds like in the room. The room is alive with the speakers and it does not come through on the videos for me.
I am only using the Samsung phone right now. I AM going to figure out which external mic set up to get, so the sound on the videos is better. Another project
All about Alsyvox planar ribbon loudspeakers.....enjoy!

Thanks for this...great reading. I was intrigued to read that the Boticelli woofer is equivalent in surface area of 2 x 15" woofers for each channel.
I then started reading more about Caravaggio, and on the website, I saw somewhere that it said 'single Caravaggio' or the double...which is the standalone bass panel. Is it true that one can have the Caravaggio single panels by themselves as full-range/near-full range...and then in the future buy the standalone bass panels as an upgrade?
https://alsyvox.com/products/
"Also a single panel version without the planar subwoofer is available (Caravaggio Single) and is upgradable in a second time to Caravaggio Full."
1. What is the frequency range of the just the single Caravaggio?
2. And if you get the 2 bass panels later, are they passively attached and driven by the same amp...or is it mandatory that one drives the bass panels with a separate amp?
3. What is the price of the Caravaggio single? And of the extra woofers?
Thank you! When you say 'offset'...if the space was a bit tight, would it be possible to have them offset, but perhaps the bass panel behind and 'slightly overlapped' from the listener's position? Or angled?Yes you’d want some clearance behind them, 1.2 meter would be about the minimum and 4 meters about the maximum for best performance. You can offset them, that can actually be an advantage. They’re offset on the bottom photos on this page for example: https://alsyvox.com/gallery/
I finally stopped being lazy and will now do any recordings with my Nikon vs. the Samsung cell. I have a good mic coming next week, but even the mic in the Nikon sounds a whole lot better than the Samsung.
