What reviewers think
Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.
Product Strengths
- Experienced a 'wall of sound' from the speakers
- These speakers do not need room treatment
Product Considerations
- Extremely well-built, resulting in a thousand-pound shipping weight
- Speakers purchased at Audium come with a service, where if the buyer has issues, someone will fly to the buyer's home and fix them
Takeaway: The Audium speakers offer a phenomenal sound experience without needing extra sound treatment in the room. The build is solid, and the company will even fly to the buyer's house to fix them.
What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Our take on the brand
Clarisys Audio speakers feature a unique double-sided ribbon design that enhances current flow and magnetic response, with a metal exoskeleton frame preventing the warping common in traditional ribbon speakers. The brand caters to tube amp enthusiasts through their use of Neodymium magnets for improved sensitivity, while offering DIY-friendly support and parts for vintage Apogee speaker refurbishment.

AlsyVox
Caravaggio
221421
/
Released
2024
Our CARAVAGGIO model is very exclusive and is made on request only. It is a 4 ways design, 1 more compared to smaller models (ribbon- planar woofer, NEW ribbon midrange, ribbon tweeter and ribbon super-tweeter) on one panel per channel.
Alsyvox is a Spanish hifi brand that handcrafts speakers with full-range ribbon technology, offering high sensitivity and extended bass response even with low-powered amplifiers. Their speakers feature in-house fabricated ribbons and diaphragms, with unique designs like the Mid-Super-Tweeter driver that extends to 40kHz, and their flagship Michelangelo's three-panel system with five ribbons for deep bass reproduction.

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

Released
2024
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.
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.

Our Summary
Product Strengths
- Replicates the resonance of live instruments due to open speaker design
- Digital from source to driver, minimizing sound distortion
- Provides audio output so precise you can pinpoint each instrument's location
Product Considerations
- The only weak link might be musical taste
