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

  • Headroom and dynamic capability deliver sound in an unrestricted way.
  • Immense dimensionality to concert hall recordings creates an intimate and involving experience.
  • The system reproduces the original recording space and unleashes its full potential in 2.0 stereo.
  • The level of separation and musical authenticity was astonishing, especially in the reproduction of instruments like cymbals and cellos.
  • Musical openness was enlightening, and music was placed under a magnifying glass.

Product Considerations

  • May not perform as well with 'dirtier stuff' or modern EDM, potentially sounding a bit sterile and restricting the low end.
  • The system needs a big room and space behind the speakers.
  • Four people are needed to move one speaker.
  • During loud drum bursts it can peak at 108dB which is way above normal listening levels and may be a boundary for the headroom available.

Takeaway: The Model is an amazing sounding system with a wonderfully sounding soundstage. It is a safe investment.

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.

This full range loudspeaker is designed for creating the holographic stereo reproduction of the Steinway & Sons Model D speakers through use of the dipole speaker concept – all in a smaller package. The Steinway & Sons Model B not only looks powerful with its impressive line-up of drivers, but together with the digital crossover and true quad-amplification of the 4 x 400-watt digital amplifier, Steinway & Sons Model A2, the resulting sound reproduction is nothing short of stunning.

Extraordinary performance A dipole speaker requires a large front area to separate the front and rear radiation of low frequency sound. In the Model B, the sides are elegantly folded back to add to the acoustic width of the speaker. Furthermore, the six pieces of woofer add up to an extremely large radiating surface capable of producing a linear output down to 25 Hz.

Brand highlights

Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:

Steinway Sons Model A

  • Positioning: Entry-level line, designed for affordability and compactness.
  • Description: Features a straightforward digital design that offers clear sound reproduction ideal for small rooms and tight budgets. Compared to the more advanced products in the lineup, provides basic functionality without the extended processing capabilities seen in Models B, C, LS Concert, and D.

Steinway Sons Model B

  • Positioning: Mid-tier option blending balanced costs with reliable performance.
  • Description: Incorporates enhanced circuitry and improved soundstage technology that deliver a richer listening experience for medium-sized setups. When compared to Model A and the higher-end options, adds better digital control and expanded frequency response.

Steinway Sons Model C MK II

  • Positioning: Mid-high product offering refined performance for dedicated enthusiasts.
  • Description: Introduces an upgraded digital-to-analog conversion system and advanced processing that yield a more detailed and dynamic sound. Relative to Models A and B, its extended dynamic range and sound staging approach those seen in the top-tier LS Concert and Model D.

Steinway Sons LS Concert

  • Positioning: High-end solution aimed at larger spaces and professional settings.
  • Description: Offers cutting-edge audio processing and exceptional build quality that create an expansive sound field and precise imaging suitable for larger rooms and demanding setups. In contrast with the lower-tier systems, its enhanced connectivity and advanced digital performance set it apart, yet it is less feature-saturated than the flagship Model D.

Steinway Sons Model D

  • Positioning: Flagship model representing the pinnacle of technology and performance.
  • Description: Integrates groundbreaking digital circuitry and audio processing innovations to deliver ultra-precise sound reproduction with an exceptionally wide soundstage for professional-grade applications. While Model D outstrips the others in technological sophistication and connectivity, it is positioned at the highest price level, making it the top choice for users with premium budgets and the most demanding functionality needs.

Our take on the brand

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.

The best is in the middle ("In medio stat virtus" the Romans used to say) so in normal size rooms, from 25sqm (250sqft) to 100sqm (1000sqft) we recommend our BOTTICELLI model.

The two panels size is quite classical: 0.64m (25″) wide and 1.77m (70″) height, with a total of 0.9sqm (10sqft) woofer surface on the two channels and weight of 115Kg (255lb) per channel. High sensitivity of 94dB makes possible to use virtually any amplifier.

It is possible to upgrade to Botticelli X or XX buying the two external passive crossovers using an exclusive topology and bigger/higher quality components, connecting cables between speaker and crossover are included. X external crossovers are 430x330x130mm each weight 25Kg including the transparent acrylic base, XX external crossovers are 680x450x130mm each weight 45Kg including the transparent acrylic base.

XX version is using even bigger and higher quality components and connecting cables compared to X version and the result is higher resolution and transparency, it is like upgradind the speakers by one or two levels.

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.

Product Strengths

  • Huge and crystal clear soundscape
  • Cellar deep, effortless, and authoritative bass
  • Very good resolution and precision of instruments in a symphony orchestra
  • Formidable dynamic capabilities

Product Considerations

  • A heavy speaker, weighing 115 kg
  • Price is high

Takeaway: The AlsyVox BOTTICELLI speakers provide a compelling and impressive sound, with great dynamics and fantastic resolution. If you are looking for speakers to convey all details in music, this could be for you.

Songer
S2

Released
2023
Like the S1, the construction quality and materials of the S2 are without compromise. The front baffles are constructed of 1.7 inch thick solid hardwood.
Check Amazon
Songer Audio specializes in hand-crafted field coil drivers and loudspeakers made in the USA, with their flagship S1 model using a unique single-driver design made from Japanese washi paper and lambskin that eliminates the need for crossovers. Their products are specifically designed to work with low-power tube amplifiers, and their field coil technology allows users to adjust the sound by varying the power supply, offering higher accuracy and lower distortion than permanent magnets.

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Plenty of deep, satisfying bass and detail, and could go quite loud, even with just 4.3 watts per channel
  • One of the most beautiful speakers
  • The construction quality and materials are without compromise
  • Seamless from top to bottom, which shouldn't be a surprise for full range drivers
  • The dispersion characteristics aren't that unusual, the speakers sounded superb from anywhere in the room

Product Considerations

  • The distance from the front wall is important because it determines the wavelengths that are reinforced in the room, so experimentation is useful
  • The reflectivity of the front wall surface behind the speaker is important

Takeaway: The Songer Audio S2 loudspeakers have great bass and detail and can play loudly, also they are beautiful speakers. The S2 is special because it sounds good everywhere in the room.
