Alon speakers - mark I vs. II

Thanks for the responses. I'll check out SpeakerAsylum and give the guys at Nola a call. Yes, I have 2 sets - when looking at the blue book here on audiogon, I noticed a mark I and II version of the Alon 4 and of the Alon 2. That's what set me down this path.

Thanks,
Mike

I thought the Mark II version had the wrap around grill cloth around the open baffle and the Mark I did not. I have a pair of Alon I Mark IIs in my video system that the original owner restored back to the look of the Mark I.

LOL, I always thought the Mark II version of the Alon IV was the Alon V.

Mike, if I understand you rightly, you have 2 sets of speakers to sell. I believe there were a couple versions of the Alon IIs, however. Look for the serial numbers on the back and call Nola Speakers to find out which verion of the IIs you have. I think there was less fiddling with the IVs, as Carl ended up basically redesigning that speaker into the V (which had MkI, MkII and MkIII versions).

You might post this on the Speaker Asylum at AA. There are a few of us over there that have had Alons for a long time. There are also some old reviews online that might help.

The IVs are still killer speakers, and the IIs quite nice.

I would call either Alon or Nola and ask them, giving them the serial numbers. FWIW, I don't recall a Mk II version of the Alon 4.
