Allison One speakers

So may I ask, how much did you pay?
and yes, they do need to be in the corners of the room, and they do need some power. I always liked them.

I'd have to disagree with Chashas 1, you put the ones in a corner and the definiton goes down especially in the bass. Louder is not better in this case IMO. If you like tubby, ill-defined bass, put them close, or worse, in the corners. I had a pair from 1976 to 1989 and taking them outside was a real ear opener for me. They never sounded better than that. After doing that the first time, I put them on the long wall vs. the short wall, away from the corners. I believe those angled faces need room from reflections. Much better clarity and openess. I sold them to a buddy who still uses them that way on a long wall now 34 years since I bought them. Pretty good longevity--and he wasn't interested in buying the ones I had for sale about 2008. He was the guy who got me going on the high end a little, but definitely on record care, plus he has THE best collection of rock records I've ever seen--should write a book on it. By the way, if you want to increase the clarity and airiness, look into the newer Morel tweeters to replace the originals. I think that would help make that classic much better. It is no Bose 901 if you do that--nor was it originally. That's a good thing!

The model three was made for corner placement,the model one was not!

the original allison one has a walnut veneer finish and went out of production in the early 80's. the later edition of the allison one went into production in 2001 and has a cherry hardwood cabinet. both are incredible products and compete with most anything.

the one can be used against any flat wall...the three is for corners only.
