Alon/Nola sound


in general, associated amps notwithstanding, how would you characterize the Alon/Nola sound? Bright, warm, open, laid back, etc?

I was in an audio store the other day and in discussing my setup, the salesman felt that the Nola Viper iias were bright, which stunned me. I'v never thought they were bright, but definitely detailed and open. Do we all here that differently? Just curious.

Now that my room is done, and the system is almost completely set up,I need to check one of my midrange drivers. Thanks to Nmusician, I will obtain a voltmeter to test if the midrange driver is working.

If the driver is not working, off to Miller Sound it goes. If it does work, then I will have to get inside the cabinet to reconnect whichever wire that got jarred loose during shipment.

Cany anyone provide me with details for the best way to get inside this cabinet?

Thanks
A friend owns the Viper Reference three's , I no I'll take some flack for saying so , but I was not impressed , at least not for the price . They did have the feeling of freedom , but the overall coherence and balance was not what I expected for $15,000.
Tmsorosk, you won't get any flack from me. While I have been hooked on the Alon/Nola sound ever since I auditioned the original I's and II's back in the early 90's, I realize their cost to performance ratio is nowhere near what it used to be. And While I would not spend the money for them new, they are extremely hard to beat for performance on the used market.

For example, a pair of used references for about $6K will knock the socks off anything close to it in price, new or used. Another example, I bought my Viper IIa's for $1,200 off the 'gon a year ago, and if there is something out there for $1,200 that can top them, I haven't heard them.
At any rate, I'm still looking for help with getting into this cabinet. Any thoughts out there, please let me know. Thanks.
According to the DVM, the midrange driver is fine. So, now that means going inside the speaker. Any ideas anyone?
