Hi,
I'm, a former Alon V MK II, with Circe upgrades, owner. This was pricey. My room was a near perfect match for this speaker. I was sure I was set for good, until I heard the Viper Reference II. I didn't feel the same about the Lotus Elite Sigs even though they had some pluses. The Viper Refs are a big leap up, a different level altogether. So no, the Vipers and Lotus' are not the same speaker at all, in sound or construction.
