Need help from ALON V 's owners.

How can I tell the difference between Alon V and Alon MK III ,I googled and found out the Alon V was made in 1993 and Alon V MK III was in 1999. Is there any manufacture's stampped date anywhere on the speakers and would you think 1200 mile round trip will be worth for the Alon sonically .Any help will be greatly appreciated . Happy the fourth and be safe on the road !

The telltale difference between MkII and MkIII is the grill. The MkIII has a Vandersteen-
type sock over the top. The MkII has a removable grill: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/frr.pl?rspkr&1038375059

If you like the Alon sound, you'll love the V's. They have a special sound. Whether it's
worth a 1200 mile trip can only be answered by you, especially with gas prices as they
are. I hope the price is right.

There was also a woofer upgrade at some at point on the MK3.
I've seen a number of posts and classifieds where people have upgraded Model II's and V's with Alnico woofers. I don't know if this was standard on the V MkIII.
