Not Bad

You wouldn't mind the Alta Statement Towers ($200,000) in your room, we imagine. Aesthetically, they're pleasurable. There's a nice curve to either side, and the three ribbon tweeters go nicely with the four mid-range units, coupled with the four bass drivers. It's nicer than the Nola Reference Speakers (more interesting) in the design element. At 485 lbs, they're hefty to lift, though not so much as the Focal GU.



We're impressed with the frequency response, 14Hz to 47kHz, which goes below Velodyne sub-woofer material, and should do 96 KHz sampling reasonably well. An impedance of 2 ohms would give some amplifiers difficulty, but something like the FirstWatt F6 should manage to produce the requested 100W per driver-channel at 2.
