Anyone heard the Alsyvox Botticelli planar speakers?

"I like it when Faxer does his shilling against Alsyvox.  I've talked to about 10 people now that said they might have been interested in listening to  the GT speakers, but said with the way this guy shills on forums they would NEVER consider purchasing from him.

He doesn't realize what harm he has already done to his brand.

Let him continue, fun watching someone shoot themselves in the foot.

Rhapsody,
So you like watching my dealer (faxer) shoot himself in the foot.
I am sure it amuses some on the forums.
Hey It amuses me sometimes !

Sorry... he doesn't mean to ruin your Alsyvox fan club
It's tough when you are small and unknown.
He is just trying to get his voice heard over the din of opinions on the forums.
Hey we all love to hate the troll, so go ahead be my guest.

BTW...
If those 10 people you spoke of feel that way, I doubt they would have ever taken me seriously to begin with so nothing lost by his trolling.

@faxer LOL, On every forum where the Alsyvox speaker is mentioned, you or another dealer post how great the GT speakers are. Somebody should organize a shoot-out between the two brands to actually determine whether you have a claim to naysay the Alsyvox’s. Albeit, the GT’s are a LOT less $$, but are they in the same league as the A’s??
Personally, if you have to use subs ( servo or otherwise) to augment your speaker, I believe you would be at a severe disadvantage from the gitgo! Getting the blend to be invisible with a sub/planar panel set up is almost impossible, IME. Nonetheless, a shoot-out would be instructive.

daveyf...I wish it were so simple to get Alsyvox and my speakers in the same room on the same system.. I would jump at the opportunity for such a comparison...the result may introduce you to the reality that higher cost does not necessarily mean better performance.

Truth is you dont have to use subs with my speakers, they will perform quite nicely sans subs, I do this demo at shows quite a few times over the weekend. It demonstrates how well the subs integrate with the main speakers so when I switch them off if the music doesn't call for sub bass...the change is imperceptible. Of course when the music calls for sub bass these are much better equipped to do so than any planar driver.
I design my drivers around the fact that planars are great at articulation and speed in the bass but not great at sub bass at high spl's, so why allow them to reproduce low bass it just messes up what they do so well in the mid and upper bass.
 Cones when implemented properly are much better at reproducing low bass.
My design philosophy is let each driver do what it does best.

Your statement " I believe you would be at a severe disadvantage from the gitgo! Getting the blend to be invisible with a sub/planar panel set up is almost impossible" Tells me you've never heard my speakers and have no idea as to what they can or can't do.

Truth of the matter is...Alsyvox is an entity with deep pockets for worldwide exhibitions, GTAW is not. So it's doubtful I will ever show in Munich or abroad to make such a comparison.
I am sure GTAW sells a fraction of the speakers as Alsyvox.
The reason GTAW sells any at all is due to fact there are people out there who's #1 criteria for purchasing a speaker is not brand recognition but what they sound like. My customers understand there are always alternatives in life and whose decisions are not influenced by brand name recognition or heresay.
For approximately $50K you can have a balls out speaker system for a lot less than Alsyvox's smallest offering.

maplegrovemusic.....
The OP's intentions on generating buzz for a speaker he is selling is not my concern.
My concern is his false statement towards my interests.
Just wanted to tell my side of our encounter.

dracule1...Methinks thou dost protest too much.

I should have never gotten involved in my dealers mess.
I have better things to do.
Rhapsody has the right idea,
Going back to my own thread on WBF where one can get an idea of what my speakers sound like in a more civil environment.

Regards to all,
Greg
