Alon Speakers

Right now im using Mackie SRM-450 Powered Monitors. These are more musical than I expected. Tons of power, I could blow the block away, like a real concert. They also have several switches for contour, and some other things, i forget exactly. But till I get a decent amp or amps, I have been using these. I didn't really think the Adcoms were enough. the Alons are not a highly effecient speaker. They do need power to drive them. I was using the GFA555 that I bought new, and then i got another used, supposedly with no problems. But the guy swapped an output transistor, power transistor, with a wrong one, and it fried then amp. so, I got it fixed and sold it, then also sold mine. I figured they need something better. They were $3500.00 speakers, and my amp was about maybe $1000.00 on the high side. I figured it was a mismatch. My Preamp is Audio Research SP9, which i do like. So, the Alons are like brand new now, and sitting idle. I listened to them with a friends Van Alstine modded hafler Amp. Sounded nice, but similar to my Adcoms. Ray

I have a pair of Alon Lotus Elites that I am driving with a Rogue Stereo 90 tube amp. Prior to this I had an Aragon 8008 and I actually brought the Rogue home to compare. Once I heard what was happening from the mids on up I sold the Aragon. Bass, well the Aragon was probably a tad more controlled if you will. The Rogue also has a nice feature... you can switch between Linear and Triode tube mode.

You might also consider McCormack DNA amps. Very musical solid state amps with lots of power to control bass, etc. Used prices are all over the board, depending upon budget and power requirements. Steve also supports his amps well.

hi just want to say stay away from krell.way way overpriced and over rated.
