Alnico Tweeter Replacements for Alon Vs


Does anyone know where I can get the Alnico replacement tweeters for the Alon Vs from a cheaper source than Alon? The cost for a pair by ALon is $800. I would need the tweeter model and manufacturer info.

Thanks.

When I spoke to Alon they were only saying that I would solder in the tweeters with the Alnico magnets and told me that there were two wires to solder on each, nothing about any cross-over parts being istalled. I will check with them again.
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
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
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.

Thanks for the reply. I have the MKIIs so I think the mids are the newer driver units. I had the woofers done by the dealer a long time ago. I wonder what modifications are specifically done to the drive units and how much of a difference the modifications make over any stock drivers.

Well if you find out anything let me know, and I will you.

Thanks.
