Need help from ALON V 's owners.

I now looked over My notes and see the addition of the alnico midrange took place when they went from MK 1 to the MK 2 . The minor crossover change when they went from MK 2 to the MK 3 . Marc

There was also a woofer upgrade at some at point on the MK3. I believe there was a $200 charge. This was mentioned at the end of the last Circe review in the Absolute Sound.

I have the last version of the 5 MK3 which I have upgraded a couple of times. First all alnico magnet drivers. Then about a year ago Carl at Nola built me reference grade outboard crossovers for my Alon 5 MK3. I also went with the latest version of the midrange driver which is used in his newest speakers and the Cardas copper speakers posts he uses. Finally I recently added Carl's IP-1 isolation platforms for the crossovers. He also upgraded my reference crossovers at no charge.

Anyway the sound is light years ahead of my original 5 MK3. Alan

I've seen a number of posts and classifieds where people have upgraded Model II's and V's with Alnico woofers. I don't know if this was standard on the V MkIII.

The V MkIII woofer was not alnico. The only driver that had alnico was the midrange which I think started with the V Mk II. You could upgrade to alnico on the woofer and or tweeter as I did. The Alon Circe model had all alnico drivers but also an outboard crossover, better cosmetics in the same size cabinet as the V. I don't really know anything about the Model II.

I have one grill for Alon V MKII speakers that I no longer need and want to sell if anyone is interested. Contact me.
