SOUND OF ALEC

 

Jason Kennedy at the-ear.net gets his lugs around Alta Audio’s Alec speakers and after patient tuning, falls in love. He says: “it must be the nature of the cabinet design that gives the Alec its speed in the bass because a regular ported cabinet of this shape would be hard pressed to achieve the same…After a streamer upgrade the atmosphere on Waltz for Debby went up another level, the sound enveloping the room and the quality of playing placed front and centre. Now the Cumberland Blues bass line was as clear as day and the brilliance of the band at its peak readily apparent…set up is more critical than usual but patience rewards with an extremely engaging and revealing sound that more than lives up to the depth of the shiny lacquer finish.”
