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
- Sound resembles a live band performance, unlike typical speakers that sound like they are firing sound at you
- The open baffle design contributes to a more articulate sound because the drivers start and stop quickly due to the absence of a cabinet to slow them down
- Maintains sound quality at high volumes, even in very large rooms (up to 60 meters) without distortion, due to its unlimited power handling and dynamics
Product Considerations
- Cannot be purchased as a standalone speaker, it is part of a complete Steinway Lyngdorf sound system
Takeaway: The LS speaker provides a very high-quality sound for a home cinema system. With its unique design and sound production, the speaker helps to deliver sound like a real live performance.
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.

Description
The LS series is the number one choice for larger rooms and spaces with rows of elevated seats. The series features an innovative line source approach incorporating floor-to-ceiling stackable speakers and boundary woofers. This allows sound to propagate over long distances, thus ensuring tonal consistency by reducing echoes, especially in large rooms. Line source technology means that every seat in the listening space has the same volume level and offers the same sound experience, from the front to the rear of the room.

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.
Expand Details
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
