Alta Audio speakers--anyone heard them?

Yes, I would really like to hear the Lelantos, but I've always been suspicious of ribbon tweeters, as I've found I always prefer soft dome.  But no one I've read every mentions Alta's sounding overly bright or etched. 

I had the Rheas and the Ribbon was not bright at all. If anything it was smooth and a little laid back. Very natural presentation. The Alta are not about super resolve, they are more about portraying music. I have sensitive tinnitus ears, so brightness or edginess is a big NO NO.

Totally agree...natural, detailed, but never bright...which I appreciate as well. I believe Michael likes a full bodied, weighty, live sound.
Very, very nice....I'm hooked. 

Anyone here with Alta Audio speakers who lives in Southern California? I live in San Diego, looking to audition Alta Alecs or Alyssas to replace my Goldenear Triton Ones but the closest Alta dealer is in Tucson, AZ
