What is your opinion of Alon Speakers?

I was looking at speakers with external cross-overs because I was told by an audio friend of mine who is a freak about getting the cross-over out of the speakers to eliminate the vibration amoung other issues. The Alon Lotus also has an open baffle for the mid and hi frequencies which I have also read about recently.

Your commnets, comparisions are appreciated as well as alternatives.

Thanks

I've used the original Alon Model 1's and think it's a great bargin. I upgraded a pair of Vandersteen 2CI's and never looked back. Very open, transparent sound, but also has good dynamics. I'd definitely buy something from Carl/Acarian again. I think his approach works.

I don't think they are going out of business, they are just a small operation. I just bought a new woofer from Carl (owner/designer) and it only took a week to get from my check going out to speaker showing up on my doorstep. I too tried emailing, but also was persistent on the phone and got his wife (who also helps out) to take my order. Alon speakers are very good designs, but they are not a large company and don't seem to have the resources to staff incoming requests as well as the larger companies.
