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.

To this day one of the most impressive systems I've ever heard included one of Carl's four-tower reference speakers at a NYC audio show several years ago. The man knows what he's doing. In my experience his speakers are never bright sounding, just exceedingly natural. One of my top five speaker designers, although I will say some of his designs look a little more like woodshop projects compared to some of the more polished cabinetry out there. Not that those pretty speakers sound as good, which is what matters most at least to me.
