Allison One speakers

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.

Ah, maybe that's the ticket then....I just remember the model I heard being in the corners, and liking what I heard. Remember, this was the late 70's....
