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.
Allison One speakers
Does anyone out there have any background on the Allison One speakers? I recently purchased a set and upon trying to research, the Blue Book price guide states they were made in 2001, but these seem a bit older to me. The ones I have match in appearance to the Allison:One shown on the Classic Speakers website and utilize the same configuration of 2-10" woofers, 2-midrange and 2-tweeters mounted in a walnut finished cabinet that is triangular (if viewed from above) shaped. Very heavy. Were these perhaps an earlier version of a speaker system that was reissued in 2001 or could these be of that vintage and just "feel" older to me? Let me know what you think or know. I would like to get some background on these for myself if I decide to keep or for the next owner if I decide to sell. Thank you in advance for your help.
