Allison One speakers

Friend of mine has a pair of the original Ones, now in need of woofer replacement. Served as his main speakers for a long time till he bought my Thiel CS3s, very good speakers for enjoying music. Definitely place them on a long wall if you can, that is their intended placement. Glad to hear Bill at Millersound can fix this speaker, I'll get my friend in touch with him.

They sure won't end up in my garage - will go to the effort (and expense) of new surrounds and see (hear) how I like them compared to my pair of Alon V. I have had other vintage speakers that appealed to me in the past that, while I would not necessarily say they sounded better than very good modern speakers, I would not call them deficient either - just different. I had a pair of Allison: Nine that I liked very much but could not get used to the ultra modern looks and they had broken grill covers that I could not come up with a good solution the repair and the cosmetics make some difference to me. If I end up liking the Alon V better I will sell and move on, but due to weight and size will have to get a local buyer as I will not want to ship (though the same would apply to the Alon pair - if they get put in the "for sale" pile, they also are way too big and heavy for me to want to ship) Again, I appreciate everyone's comments on the subject - even the ones imply that I have made a mistake in purchasing them - we've probably all done this before! Thanks again.

Have a pair of Allison Ones, is original owners manual still available?

I still own a pair of these speakers, purchased around 1980
and cost about $700.
Hope this is still helpful.
