Did not mean the top ten members of audiogon,but the top ten audiogon members support in this thread. Many thanks to all this thread is yielding a tremendous amount of info.I guess I should vote for one of my all time favorite box speakers.That is the Large Advent.At their new price point in late 70s little that could compete with them.Then Acoustat came along.As I said still have two pairs of these the 2+2 and Model 2, just fabulous.
I agree with the part on humour sfbaydude. Gotta remember old geezer here (57) sometimes slow on the uptake.And many thanks for taking part in these top ten threads.
Just added Time Windows to the collection. While maybe not in the exalted class of some menetioned here. I have to admit the DCM Time Windows are truly amazing. Great depth,
tranparancy,and detail. Still love the Acoustats,but these are the best non-planar speakers I have owned in sometime.
Too bad DCM is no longer producing these.
Started this thread over two years ago. Just shows our diversity and how all of us perceive sound. This is as it should be,just a wealth of information. A few months ago acquired a pair of Alon Point V floor standing speakers. After living with these awhile I have found them very musical as far as box speakers are concerned. The clarity and sound stage is just down right amazing. These have managed to replace the venerable Time Windows,something I didn't think would happen. At this point will be looking at the upper line of Alons. If you haven't heard Alon speakers,do audition a pair. I think you will be most impressed.
Started this thread some 5 years ago and continues to amaze me the response to this thread and how tastes in speakers evolves.

Moved further up in the Alon range of speakers to the Model 1 and these are a true delight. One of the few speakers that can please the planar crowd as well as the acoustic suspension group.

Once a dyed in the wool planar fan, but once I heard the Alons, have become hooked on this fabulous signature of the Alons. Not to be missed.

In the weeks that have passed several people have listen to the Alon Model 1 speakers and each have come away more than impressed with the overall musicality of these speakers. In fact most are seeking out the Alon Model 1 or other Alon speakers for their systems. It is amazing just how many audiophiles are unaware of Alon Speaker Systems. When new in 1993 these drew rave reviews from TAS and Stereophile. Now I know the reason behind those reviews. Alon speakers are something special indeed and are worthy additions to any hi-rez system. Listening fatique is absent and one can listen and appreciate day in day out. These are true reference speakers by any stretch of the imagination, only surpassed by more expensive Alons.

Well worth traveling to pick them up, and will have Alon speakers in my system from now on. Only to move once again further up in the Alon range as time,money and availabilty warrants.
