| two way v. three way speakers Room and equipment matching has a lot to do with the sound also. For example Vandy 5s I own sound different that the Meadowlarks I own and the Alons I own in the same room with the same equipment. Swap the equipment and each speaker performs much ... | |
| Alon Model 1 8" woofers blown I am not sure if there is a woofer upgrade for the Alons with alnico magnets but you may want to speak with Carl first and try them before the rebuild from Bill, BTW Bill is the best so send them to hi with confidence.Happy Listening | |
| Warm airy musical speakers? I assume by warm airy musical speakers you mean less box coloration that provides an open sound. The Alon speakers meet that criteria you can get a pair of Alon IIs for under $800 or even less just to hear them. My overall opinion is that the prea... | |

| Daedalus Audio Vs. Kef So much goes into sound reproduction that just speakers alone are not the answer. I understand your connection with the Sonus. I heard them with an all Krell system and they sounded excellent. You have to understand what you want for sound and onl... | |

| Speaker repairer - NY area you can do it yourself, i can do it or miller sound is the expert | |
| How to repair or replace a power transformer? Par-metal in New Jersey sells inexpensive power transformers. Bridgeport Magnetics in Connecticut also sells transformers. | |
| "Slam"--what is it, is it really accurate? Slam to me is the ability of the system to reproduce soft to loud passages and back again. For an example, I use a track with two acoustic guitars. During a passage with both guitars strumming, one guitarist is wrapping his hand/knuckles ont he gu... | |
| 'Holographic Sound Stage?' I have to agree with most of what has been already stated in this thread. I also agree with Tubegroover "The greater the resolution, the better the effect". If you speakers are up against the wall, probably not going to do it that well. To get a b... | |
