Hi Don, sorry not currently. We did have a location in Chicago but Jerry, who was the principal passed away about three or four months ago now. I believe we are going to have a location in Cleveland very soon, but they will not have the Alsyvox because we’ve stretched out the 6+ months lead time at this point with the backlog of orders.

The closest available location at a customer that would be happy to demonstrate the Alsyvox speakers is DOUSMAN WI. This customer has Botticelli X.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. I am so very sorry to learn of the passing of Jerry. My heart goes out to his family, friends and all the people he had touched throughout his life.

Out of curiosity, do you happen to know which electronics he is using in his audio system with the Botticelli X?

Thanks again,
Don

Thank you. Yes Jerry was a really great guy.

This customer currently is using the Westminster electronics. He might have some other electronics there as well I would have to check.

Don, the client in Dousman, is a wonderful gentleman, Bob and I know well. Besides the Alsyvox loudspeakers, the system consists of:

- WestminsterLab Quest pre-amplifier
- WestminsterLab Class A monoblocks (amplifier set A)
- Trafomatic Pandora tube monoblocs (Amplifier set B)
- Lampizator Posidean DAC
- Taiko Extreme server running Roon
- MasterBuilt cables
- Folgenhaus rack

It should be a worthwhile experience since you have options, including tube and solid-state presentations, in a very well-treated, excellent-sounding room. IMO, well worth the 90-minute drive from Chicagoland.

If Don and his set up are anything like Bob Vineyard in the Portland, Oregon area, then from my experiences with Rhapsody, the visit will be well worth it. So go for it!
