Need help for ALON I problem
New website with contact information is at following link.http://www.nolaspeakers.com/Carl has always been responsive to me, maybe they are at a show or on a vacation. If they no longer make the midrange for the Model 1, maybe you could upgrade bo... 
Has anyone here tried Element Speaker Cables?
Interesting review, and encouraging for DIY enthusiasts. However, the reviewer kept his comparisions to other internet based cables, River Cable's Flexygy and the (sort of) DIY design Signal cables. I am running a tri-wire set of Jon Risch's cross... 
Adding subwoofer to Full-Ragne Speakers question
Swampwalker gave a good answer. In addition to the amp issues he explained, I believe his #2 comments have to do with the main bass driver not trying to move as much air if the LF is cut off. Therefore, the excursion of the bass driver will be les... 
Most Flexible Audiophile Preamp
Muse 9 Signature is nice with XLR and RCA ins and outs, HT pass through, individually adjustable gain for each of the 5 inputs, and remote. 
What happens to speakers over time?
They get sold on Audiogon :> 
Muse Model 10
Agreed, the 10 is very, very, nice. I am totally happy with mine. If a CD sounds bad at all, it is probably a terrible disc to begin with. Good CDs and DVD-A's sound just great! Kevin and crew are outstanding to deal with, and the upgradability of... 
Aerial 10T Beware
Sean, sort of like Alon V, Alon V MkII, Alon V MkIII; or Muse Model 9, Muse Model 9 Signature. Some manufacturers actually do this. The best way to be sure is what Mikec recommends, get the serial numbers and call the manufacturer. 
Refinish speaker in different color
Andy, first of all a lot of people like the look of the black ash. That is why so many of the manufacturers make them, and sell so many. Choice one would be to sell them for a tidy profit and use the proceeds to get what you want. If you don't lik... 
Muse model 9 sig CD player how good?
My experience upgrading to the 10 is exactly the same as Scotty 910's, but I would add the Model 10 has DVD-A capability, which sounds outstanding. 
How to replace the speaker grill cloth???
I am not aware of the specific set up of the JBL grills, but I have successfully used 3M spray adhesive to attach cloth to speakers with metal frame grills, and those with the grill cloth over a wooden facing. If you search around here and AA's Sp... 
Cardas Neutral Ref vs Harmonic Tech Pro 9 Plus
I am with Mikesinger on this one. I too like the Neutral Reference speaker cable. They really show off the clarity, separation in instruments, timbre and decay with my Alon V's (with all Circe drivers). I have them hooked up as a full run to the L... 
SACD my thoughts at this time.....................
Slingshot, I will be getting my upgraded Model 9 Signature (to Model 10) within a week or so, and will post results.Although the Model 11 does it all (CD,SACD,DVD and DVD-A), I went with the 10 because (according to Kevin) it is a superior sonic s... 
Biwired Speakers - silver for high, copper for low
Tom, I'm sorry I didn't previously see your system posted. You may get more feedback by trying a post over on audio asylum's cable forum. There are many good cables discussed over there, and folks who have tried and compared them. You also occasio... 
Biwired Speakers - silver for high, copper for low
Hi Tom, you should consider several factors in your cable search. First, you have not posted your system. If you do, chances are better you will get some more specific recommendations from those who have the same speakers and components. Second, y... 
Alon is now Nola...
Hi Brad, thanks for the info. Your post is a direct quote from the new "Nola" website, where I also found this:"After a separation from Acarian's partners in 2004, Carl and Marilyn formed Accent Speaker Technology Ltd. and created the NĂ³la product...
