Best of old model speakers under $1800 vs my Alons
I hsve alon v Mkii's. I drive them with a cary slp 88 pre-amp and a pair of cary v12s that are used to bi-amp the speakers. I have always been happy with the speakers and chose them over the B&W 801.(even though the B&W was what I had been... 
Room size for Alon V MK2
My room size is 14 x 32 with a ceiling that goes from 8 to 12 feet. I have not had the issue you describe and have owned my alon v mk11 for 12-14 years. It could be that room size is in fact the problem 
Bi-Amping questions
I had a pair of Sim Audio amplifiers which I bridged mono hooked up to a pair of Alon V MKII speakers. liked it well enough but wanted to try tubes. I bought a used pair of Cary V12r amplifiers and have been running them horizontally bi-amped. Am ...

Cary spl88 tubed pre owners
I have the cary coupled with simaudio amplifiers driving alon v mk11 speakers. I am very pleased with the music reproduction. Variations in the quality of the music seems to me to be more a fuction of the quality of the recording rather than the g...

I have had these speakers for a few years now. I originally was set to purchase B&W 801's, having auditioned them several times. Another party was listening to the Alons when I arrived at the retailer- I left with the Alons and have been pleas...
