I have heard both-but its been a while. The I is smaller, less complex and far less expensive than the V. However, they share the Alon holographic sound and extended bass. Everything the I offers, the V offers more of it and more refined. Also, I understand the Black Orphious speaker cables are essential, and bi or tri wiring should be considered mandatory. Good luck.
Alon Model I VS. Alon Model V
Any opinions on the differences between the two models? I know the V's were more expensive, but they were later models. I'm going to have to choose one or the other and could use some opinions. My system includes a Krell FPB 300cx, ARC SP-8 MKII, Wadia 861 CD player, McIntosh MR-78, McIntosh MC240, Yamaha PX-3 turntable, JBL 4430 Studio Monitors and Carver Amazing Platinum speakers, the ones with the 60" ribbons. The Carvers are my favorites and that is why I'm leaning towards a pair of Alons, don't get me wrong, the 4430's are great, but I prefer to hear as much detail as possible and the Carvers produce that in spades, but lack a little in the dynamics department, which is what the Alons excel at. Thanks in advance.
