Alsyvox Audio Design BOTTICELLI
The best is in the middle (“In medio stat virtus” the Romans used to say) so in normal size rooms, from 25sqm (250sqft) to 100sqm (1000sqft) we recommend our BOTTICELLI model.
The two panels size is quite classical: 0.64m (25″) wide and 1.77m (70″) height, with a total of 0.9sqm (10sqft) woofer surface on the two channels and weight of 115Kg (255lb) per channel.
High sensitivity of 94dB makes possible to use virtually any amplifier.
It is possible to upgrade to Botticelli X or XX buying the two external passive crossovers using an exclusive topology and bigger/higher quality components, connecting cables between speaker and crossover are included. X external crossovers are 430x330x130mm each weight 25Kg including the transparent acrylic base, XX external crossovers are 680x450x130mm each weight 45Kg including the transparent acrylic base. XX version is using even bigger and higher quality components and connecting cables compared to X version and the result is higher resolution and transparency, it is like upgradind the speakers by one or two levels.

The planar dynamics are the star here: Greg Weaver and Audiophilepure both praise its seamless coherence, richly textured tone, and expansive, pinpoint imaging. With real bass authority, airy treble, and effortless speed, it delivers a large-scale, emotionally engaging presentation that feels genuinely reference-grade.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Exceptional coherence and a single, continuous musical voice with highly natural tone color.
Expansive, precisely layered soundstage imaging with excellent placement, size, and dimensional depth.
Surprisingly powerful bass, strong transient attack, and convincing macrodynamic impact for a planar design.
Highly resolving yet smooth treble, with no glare or fatigue over long listening sessions.
&
Cons
Its full potential depends on a suitably wide room, with one reviewer noting room constraints could limit optimal setup.
The price is explicitly described as ambitious, placing it firmly in ultra-high-end territory.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 97/100
Reviewers describe a speaker with extraordinary coherence, a single continuous voice, and tonal balance that feels essentially faultless. Across the reviews, it is praised for deep, powerful bass, vivid and unforced treble, highly resolved imaging, and an effortless sense of speed and realism.
Bass
97/100
The reviews emphasize remarkable bass extension, powerful low-frequency response, and genuine physical impact. One reviewer was surprised by how much low-end authority it delivered, while another highlighted the large woofer area and the way it combined planar speed with dynamic-driver-like scale and punch.
Mid
98/100
The midrange is described as full-bodied, coherent, and remarkably natural, with instruments presented in a continuous and convincing way. Reviewers repeatedly praise truthful timbre, harmonic richness, and a tonal balance that sounds exceptionally right on vocals and piano.
Treble
97/100
Treble is praised for being richly vibrant, texturally complete, and highly revealing without glare or fatigue. The reviews suggest excellent extension and air, with the upper range handled in a way that stays open and refined even over extended listening.
Soundstage Imaging
98/100
The speaker is consistently credited with an exceptional sense of space, layering, and image precision. Reviewers describe dimensionality, placement, size, and shape as superbly rendered, with staging cues and focus that stand out even on complex recordings.
Dynamics
97/100
Dynamics are a major strength, with comments about blistering transient attack, impressive micro-dynamic shading, and explosive impact that still remains controlled and articulate. Reviewers also highlight the speaker’s speed and its ability to compress the air with real force while keeping realism intact.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
96/100
Reviewers point to robust heavy-gauge steel frames, vibration-damping materials, and in-house-made ribbons and diaphragms, alongside high-grade crossover parts. The construction sounds carefully executed and purpose-built, though the reviews focus more on engineering choices than on long-term durability or finish details.
Value for Money
88/100
At around $100,000 to $135,000 depending on the crossover package, this is an unmistakably ambitious purchase, and one review explicitly frames the pricing as a serious reference-class stretch. Even so, the commentary is strongly favorable, with language suggesting it can stand alongside highly regarded rivals and be a first choice at its price point.
