yes perhaps w/ roots on 1970’s basically same convex tweeters and mids as earlier models the secret sauce noone has been able to make the drivers for a LONG time apparently as per former factory workers they were assembled by robots! yes robots 50+ years ago! here is the difference and why the drivers are superior to all others the radiating surface area available a stock std dome and the allison i believe they went out of buisiness in early 90’s |

I had a friend who had the Allison Ones, heard them many times w/ Apt / Holman electronics & they were good in some ways & lacking in others. They had a nice clean, tight bottom end but a bit thick & heavy sounding w/ not much nuance & extension on the high end. They were design to placed on the wall & thus had minimal depth or three dimensional sound stage. Overall, like many other older New England speakers ( AR, Advent, KLH ), were very listenable, not fatiguing & faults were of the omission type, not commission type. |
I’m in NC, or I would try to help. I have sentimental attachment to items of my youth that I would love to have. I once drove 12 hours round trip to pick up a bass head for a buddy. He played bass guitar in a 1970's band, and discovered his original bass head for sale. It had been "lost" on a tour in 1979. He still had the matching cabinet. I've never seen someone as excited as when I pulled in his driveway with that Ampeg gear.
So, quit giving the poster beef about the speakers, and someone help him out. Return Karma is a good thing. |
I found a guitar amp I needed years ago - local pickup. It is a very big/heavy and rare vintage tube amp.I fabricated a shipping box with packing and sent the empty box with a prepaid UPS shipping label inside. All the seller had to do want put the amp in the box and tape it up (I included tape) and attach the label. He agreed to drop it off at the local pack/ship store. All it cost me was an extra ~$35 to ship the empty box to him, and about $65 return shipping. Happy ending. |
