Alnico Tweeter Replacements for Alon Vs

Yes I have read about mfgs rebuilding the tweeters so I am looking for anyone who may know if this is true, or how much the sound changes, or who supplies the tweeters and the model numbers. Or even if the upgrade is really worth it.

I checked with Alon and there are no cross-over changes.

Thanks

How old are your speakers? What happened to the tweeters? Speaker companies using OEM drivers are famous for claiming that stock units are not the same. Unless it is built with proprietary technology, what you normally have are speaker manufacturers paying $10.00 for a tweeter and wanting many times the price for a replacement. Strange thing is that you can line up a hundred audiophiles who in all good faith will tell you that this is warranted. That’s how you get to charge 40K for a pair of speakers, Better than neodymium is unobtainium, then you get into real serious money.

The tweeters are the original pairs and Alon offered an upgraded tweeter and woofer. My woofers are upgraded but I never did the tweeters. The newer tweeter upgrades have alnico magnet structures. I was hopig to find someone who knows who manufacturered the tweeters for Alon and maybe if they also know if there are really any differences or modifications that are significant.

Thanks

Why does your system list Talon and B&W speakers, but no mention of Alon?

I have too many components including speakers to list under the system on Agon. Maybe at least 30 components, 10 speakers, 50 or more cables, etc. These were at my mom's home and she was using them with some older components, but she is selling her home to move to an active community, smaller home so I am giving her my old Kirksaeter monitors to use in the new home also not listed under my system. I upgraded the woofers a long time ago but may want to use them in another system or I may sell them. I wanted to know if I can get away with finding the mfg that supplies the tweeter so that I do not have to pay the $800 Alon charges (assuming there are no modifications to the tweeter units) and I was hoping for someone who may know this information.

OK? Happy Listening.
