Acarian - Alon IV vs. Alon V mkII


Hi all. I'm considering trying out one of these - is there anyone who has owned/experienced both and could highlight the sonic differences.

Thanks. Chip

What kinds of treatment you did to the Alon IV. Would you let us know how you set them up. I am using Alon IV, right now I am biamping with SF power 3 monos to the low and Cary V121 for mid and high. My room size is 14.5 x 30 and only 7' high.
I agree w/most of what's been said. IMHO the IV is a little bottom-heavy, and the V is much better balanced, and with slimmer dimensions, easier to place in most rooms. For a used speaker, they are definitely one of the better values available. The II is one of my favs for $700-800. Cheers,

I have Alon Mark V Type II and upgraded with the Circe woofers. They are much smoother and sweeter than the IV's which get a bit broad. However, I believe the IV's are better if you are multichannel. I have the V's for about 10 years and they still amaze me!
How did a man named Marchiotto(Correct spelling?), come up with the name "Alon by Acarian"?
I have one grill for Alon V MKII speakers that I no longer need and want to sell if anyone is interested. Contact me.
