Greetings all - a new member here. I have recently been lucky enough to acquire the Alsyvox Tinterettos. I am just starting to do extensive listening. I have a modest sized room (13 by 19 feet) but it meets the suggested dimension range for this baby of the Alsyvox line. I am replacing a pair of Martin Logan CLXs which were just not okay in my room despite lots of effort. I am delighted to report that the Tinteretto gives up nothing by way of transparency to the famously transparent CLX. The ability of the speaker to remove itself from one's consciousness is perhaps its most engaging feature - along with the seamlessness of the whole. I listened last night to an early Mercury Living Presence Lp (Jean Pierre Rampal), a CD with Paul Lewis (Beethoven Piano Concerto no.3) and a second CD - Lost voices of the Hagia Sophia - three utterly different recordings, each compelling. I do have a new problem - at very low frequencies, the house vibrates - I am investigating de-coupling! But this is a final speaker for me (after 35 years of a wonderful journey) if only because the darn things are so heavy I can't fathom getting them moved again! Seriously, they are truly stunning. I would add that the choice to display them at the audio shows with an all-solid state and CD front end is puzzling to me. The only critical reactions amidst a sea of enthusiasm came from a couple of folk who found them a touch cold - well, go figure
In my all-tube set up they aren't cold, hot, or any temperature: mainly, they just aren't anything - which is wonderful.
