JM Labs Altos


Hi
Just looking for peoples opinion on the JM LABS ALTO, are they bright with that BE tweeter, I own Pass labs 350.5 Amp and X1 pre-amp with Nordost SMP speaker cables and Mezzo at present and thinking of moving up a model, I have heard them years back, thought they where great and thats why I bought the Mezzos 2nd hand and still love them to this day, what am I going to gain or should I be looking else where?
Thanks

I own a pair. I suppose it depends on a number of factors. I drive them with a Boulder 1060 connected with NBS Omega 1 speaker cables. I run my Wadia 861 straight into the amp via Tara Labs 0.8 balanced interconnects. I wouldn't consider my system warm, but it has tremendous detail. The Alto Utopia BEs are phenominal loudspeakers. I've tried many cabling combinations, but this setup gives me I want. I like them so much that I'm considering moving up to the Novas because I have the room and like what the Utopia BE series offer and want to go to the next level.
