What reviewers think

Magazine reviewers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below.

How useful are hifi reviews? We consider them useful for three things: (1) Surfacing new products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've ever heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's unique attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we  discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on everything—rarely being negative for fear of souring relationships with manufacturers. Further, they seldom have more than a couple products on-hand at once, relying on their imperfect memories to compare to past products.

Compared to their other products

We think it's helpful to understand how this product fits into the brand's full lineup (below). To learn more about these products, visit the brand's page.

TINTORETTO

  • Positioning: The entry-level model in the Alsyvox lineup.
  • Description: Features a compact design, making it ideal for smaller rooms ranging from 15 to 50 square meters. Maintains the same high-quality components as larger models but in a smaller form factor, which makes it more accessible for those with limited space and budget. Offers high sensitivity at 93dB, allowing compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers, similar to the Botticelli but with a smaller woofer surface.

BOTTICELLI

  • Positioning: Positioned as a mid-range model, suitable for medium-sized rooms.
  • Description: Features a balance of size and performance, recommended for rooms between 25 and 100 square meters. Offers a slightly higher sensitivity of 94dB compared to Tintoretto, providing a broader dynamic range and deeper bass response. The option to upgrade with external crossovers enhances its resolution and transparency, setting it apart from the Tintoretto and aligning it closer to the Caravaggio in terms of performance.

CARAVAGGIO

  • Positioning: A high-end model, made on request, and is more exclusive than the Botticelli.
  • Description: Features an advanced four-way design, which includes a new ribbon midrange, making it suitable for larger rooms from 40 to 120 square meters. Offers a more complex soundstage with its additional midrange compared to the Botticelli, and its high sensitivity of 94dB allows for versatile amplifier pairing. The option for dedicated subwoofer panels further distinguishes it from the Botticelli and Tintoretto.

RAFFAELLO

  • Positioning: A premium model, offering a symmetrical design for improved room interaction.
  • Description: Features a double midtweeter and woofer configuration, providing higher dynamics and resolution than the Caravaggio. Recommended for rooms larger than 50 square meters, offering better imaging and interaction with room acoustics. The inclusion of XX quality crossovers as standard elevates its performance.

MICHELANGELO

  • Positioning: The flagship model of the Alsyvox lineup.
  • Description: Features a groundbreaking fully symmetrical three-panel design, offering the highest dynamics and resolution in the lineup. Designed for very large rooms, with a minimum width of 6 meters, and features a sensitivity of up to 98dB, surpassing the Raffaello. Its extensive emission surface and advanced crossover design provide exceptional soundstage and bass depth.

AlsyVox

Its width is 0.69m (27″) with a total height of 2.03m (80″), a weight of 150Kg (333lb) per channel excluding crossovers and a woofer surface of more than 1 sqm (11sqft) on the two channels. It comes with 2 acrylic external passive crossovers using exclusive topology, connecting cables between speaker and crossover are included.

These standard crossovers have dimensions of 510x330x130mm weight 30Kg including acrylic transparent base and are using same quality components to X crossovers for Botticelli or Tintoretto, also XX quality is available on request with a size of 680x450x130mm weight 50Kg each. Difference is clearly audible with higher resolution and transparency, like upgrading the speakers by one or two levels.

Also a separate dedicated subwoofer panel (one each channel) is available and it is recommended only in very big rooms from 80sqm (800sqft). High sensitivity of 94dB makes possible to use virtually any amplifier. It is recommended for rooms of 40sqm (400sqft) to 120sqm (1200sqft).

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Vivid and lifelike realism in timbre, imaging, transient speed, resolution, physical energy, and dynamics make it sound closer to live music
  • Presents a kind of physicality to the sound, not just in bottom-end weight—but in tangibility and presence of instrumental and vocal images
  • Extraordinary vividness and tangibility of instrumental and vocal images, with a very present, immediate, and upfront spatial presentation
  • Remarkably easy to drive, it will play loudly, and delivers fabulous bass weight and low-end dynamic authority
  • Presents a uniform voice, tonally and dynamically, from the bass to the top treble, with zero discontinuity between drivers

Product Considerations

  • To realize its full potential, you need to position the speakers away from the backwall, which can be a challenge in many homes
  • Moving the speakers back toward the wall behind them slightly diminished the depth and feeling of the soundstage having no boundaries
  • Removing the speakers from the flight cases and assembling the base and feet is a delicate and time-consuming process

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • The Rhapsody room in Dallas was built to house both AlsyVox and the Magico M9

Takeaway: The AlsyVox Caravaggio is a high-end loudspeaker that delivers a thrilling and realistic music experience, unlike any other. If you want amazing sound, this could be the speaker for you

Steinway Lyngdorf

The Model C speakers is for those who seek the live dipole sound and demand enhanced bass for music and movies. The formula is simple: take the legendary Model D, then scale down the footprint and add powerful boundary woofers. The result is an attention-grabbing statement system that sets a new standard for full-bodied bass reproduction. Dipole speaker The Model C’s compact, floor-standing dipole design emits equal, natural sound from both sides of the cabinet – forward and backward. Thus it produces sound that interacts with the room much like a live musical instrument, creating audio that can’t be compared and a statement that can’t be ignored.

Steinway Lyngdorf is unique for its fully digital amplification technology and RoomPerfect system, which processes signals entirely in the digital domain and automatically adapts sound to any room's acoustics without requiring acoustic treatment. Their systems are built as closed ecosystems with components that must work together, featuring distinctive dipole speakers that emit sound from both front and back to mimic how Steinway pianos interact with a room.
