Alsyvox & Lampizator Horizon I Here's My Take !!

[@VideoArchiveGuy]

Alsyvox are simply the best for me; it depends on what you are looking for. I'd take these over big Wilsons any day.

[@mlchemwolf]

Many thank Jay, your showing alot of us a world we would never see...or hear. Works of art man!!!

[@fabieneldridge3414]

A wall of sound ! They sound like they are playing outside open ! Smooth . Love seeing all these Beautiful speakers ! Wonderful, keep up the wonderful work !

[@PioneersofSonicExcellence]

These were in my strong non humble opinion, the best sound at Munich 2023. So much so that I bought the system. I ruthlessly compared to Borrensons, Magico, Wilsons, Martens, Stenheims, Kharmas and just could not believe the transparency. I find it humorous that he makes a comment about the bass while there's ample base that's tight and clean when he says it. The speaker woofer has 20mm of excursion, 10x any other planar because the mylar sits between a dual layer of neodymium. When you multiply that across the surface area we are talking about serious serious bass that can easily fill an 800 square foot room

[@jaysaudiolab]

Awesome

[@PioneersofSonicExcellence]

​@@CarlVanDoren61 Jay imust have an axe to grind. Go read Robert Harley's coverage of this system at Munich which he awarded Best In Show. Stick with the professionals. I've heard these a/bd against Magico M6 and the Big Stenheims. They do not have the bass of a giant Wilson, but who cares. They held their own with the M6 and maybe they gave up a little bit but what you got in return across the entire frequency spectrum was way way worth it. I agree with Robert Harley these are about as good as it gets right now.

[@BRATWURST1]

With regards to bass ribbon excursion being 10x greater than any other planar is incorrect;10x greater than a Magnepan but as far as Apogees are concerned these can manage + -4mm.

[@klkl6659]

Impressive sound, transparent with musicality and articulate Voices.

[@dennisryan459]

I do consider these among the finest speakers in the world , I heard them at RMAF ! The best mids and highs ! A few subwoofers could be added for more impact !

[@audiohertz2341]

Toe in creates more center focus Jay, its why you get that effect off axis vs having speakers firing speakers straight ahead

[@adrianadrianp5305]

When I heard them in 2022 the bass was really impressive and I have 5 high end Subwoofers (3x12 and 2x18) these panels have significant bass panel area and reputed; u measure down to 18. I heard them with Jadis last year

[@adrianadrianp5305]

@@Puroplatino I use 4 naim 135 monoblocks, I did experiment year ago with Krell's and many other gutsy power amps but the 135's just brought them to life, really dynamic and very real. My subs are 3 x Cremona's and 2 sealed Birch ply 18" using BMS drivers and all use external power amps controlled by a mini DSP 10x10 with a lot of mods (The signal goes in parallel to the Extremas so they dont go through the dsp) !

[@gee5308]

Kudos to Jay for calling it like you hear it. I agree with your assessment about this loudspeakers bass response. There is a misconception among planar devotees that planar bass is better. Yes and no. Yes, it is articulate and lacking in colorations associated with box loading. While this is very appealing to the listener, dynamic impact can be missing. Some planar fans are willing to forego the deep impact stuff and relish the speed and transparency that planars do best. But there are dipole planar speakers out there that can give you the best of both worlds by implementing cone woofers to cover the sub bass range, but special loading configurations and extreme attention must be paid to integration to get the best out of these systems. I will not go into product names and be accused of being a shill. Just suffice to say look around and you may find there are manufacturers out there that manage to pull this trick off, for a lot less money too.

[@craigdellapenna7103]

Question: the lack of bass impact. Is it the speakers or perhaps the amps? How would these speakers sound with your Boulders?

[@supercompooper]

They do have good bass IMO

[@aleksanderszeps2098]

Bullshit xD. They had literally 0 bass there in person

Respectfully you seriously need to disable the Zoom mic amplification as the algorithms for comparison of one video's audio quality to another is ridiculously compromised as well as the individual video by itself. It is skewing results people hear.

@@moonbtc3875 how can you say the DAC? What about the Taiko? Could have been lots of things but to pinpoint something like this is impossible. It’s just a bias, trust me. I wasn’t impressed either and I have 2 of the components playing here. In my opinion the speakers made it sound a bit thin, definitely not the DAC or Streamer. Just my 2¢

[@moonbtc3875]

@@Puroplatino I tried Horizon vs my DAC in dealer showroom (not on this Munich show) and Horizon DAC was not so impressive, it had little bit more detail and clarity on some tracks, but I could not hear the difference on most tracks.

[@davidcross890]

That's why the absolute best of the best speakers are never planars or ribbons or electrostats at ANY PRICE.

[@kevinneptune587]

Good tone, but dynamics seems a bit limited.

[@supercompooper]

In this demo yes. In my other experience it's very dynamic. Xmax is like 5mm on the panel. Maybe the amps.

Dynamics are lacking on the track, not the speaker.

[@zencoatlrios2648]

@@supercompooper Jay has a huge bias against Pilium. Simply because someone told him that the Pilium Hercules and Alexander perform better (not by much honestly) than the Boulder 3000 series. Imagine what it feels like to know that a $70k dollar amp outperformed the $250k Boulder 3050. It is a good kick to the ego of the rich guy who spends on the most expensive thing thinking it is the best. Hopefully one day Jay will objectively try Pilium, those amps have the best bass no matter what speaker is used.
