Alon/Nola drivers

based on my upgrade experience with Nola, the bass drivers are custom, and likely the midrange also. The HF drivers are from Norway, but would guess they are built to Carl's specs and not off the shelf. All use alnico magnets. Definitely not something you are going to get from Parts Express.

All drivers are custom in the Alons. One thing to consider is replacement prices, I recently spoke with Carl and there have been steep price increases: Alnico tweeters $1600 pr., 10" Alnico woofers $1600 pr., Alnico mids are still $800 pr. There are no off the shelf replacements.

Thanks guys. I have been considering the purchase of a used speaker and with the recent uncertainties regarding the split between Nola and Alon, I wanted to check this out first.

The price of replacement speakers are very expensive from Nola. You can try Madisound and he probably can find excellent drivers that will work close to the custom ones.

Happy Listening.

ANYONE REPLACING WOOFERS IN THEIR CIRCES...I want your old ones for my Vs MkIIs ;-)

Rbischof, I bought my Alons used awhile back. I lose no sleep at night worrying about the need to replace drivers (although I would kinda like to upgrade my woofs). I hope you;re not planning on frying yours, whould gecome lucky enough to own a pair of Alons/Nolas. Wonderful, musical speakers. Don't worry, buy the Alons and be happy. Circes are fabulous.
