New Woofers for Alon V's?

I have a wonderful pair of Acarian Systems Alon V's that I really enjoy. Recently, after hearing some low end distortion, I noticed that the woofer surrounds are deteriorated and loose from the cone and frame in several places. So I sent an email to Acarian asking if I could buy some new woofers, but no reply so far. Does anyone know where I can get some replacements? I've also seen some references to owners upgrading to Circe woofers - but not sure what that's all about. Any help or tips would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
-Peter

This is easy, call Bill at Millersound 215 412-7700 and have him repair them. He probably will charge $100 or less. He also is/was an Alon dealer and knows the Vs inside and out. I also own a pair and he can fine tune them for you.

Happy Listening.

Either repair foam surround as I did with my previous Alons, or send them to Bill.

I believe the Circe woofers have the alnico magnets, may be a nice upgrade, just as the alnico mids and tweeters are.

Thanks all for the responses. I was considering a refoam myself too but wasn't sure if it was worth it. I sounds like Bill has an excellent reputation for this type of work and I am certainly going to give him a call.

I have one grill for Alon V MKII speakers that I no longer need and want to sell if anyone is interested. Contact me.
