Alta Audio - Alyssa SE - 6" Bookshelf 2-Way Speakers (Pair)
The Alta Audio Alyssa is a two-way speaker designed to deliver the sonic depth and detail typically associated with larger floor-standing models. Its compact form allows it to integrate seamlessly into various listening environments while maintaining exceptional clarity and musicality. Engineered for audiophiles, the Alyssa provides a rich and immersive soundstage, making it a compelling choice for those seeking high-end performance in a smaller footprint.
At the heart of the Alyssa is a 2.5-inch pure aluminum ribbon tweeter, producing an expansive and highly detailed high-frequency response. A 6-inch midrange woofer, featuring a titanium former and a long-throw voice coil, ensures smooth dynamics and accurate bass extension. Enhanced by Alta Audio’s proprietary Extended Transmission Line (XTL) bass tuning system, the Alyssa delivers deep, articulate bass with speed and control, allowing for a full-range listening experience that remains balanced across all frequencies.
With a sensitivity of 87.5 dB and a frequency response spanning 32Hz to 47kHz, the Alyssa achieves remarkable efficiency and detail. Its 4-ohm impedance allows it to pair well with amplifiers rated between 50 to 150 watts per channel. Constructed with Alta’s exclusive DampHard multi-layered, multi-density cabinet material, the speaker minimizes resonance and preserves sonic purity. Blending cutting-edge engineering with refined craftsmanship, the Alyssa offers an exceptional listening experience for those who demand both precision and musicality.
