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... 
My baby left me... left me sad and bluuuuueee....
try eric clapton, E.C. was here - "Have You Ever Loved a Woman"hey Onhwy61, I also like Rush's "Mourning in the Morning" 
Customer Service by Alon
As an Alon owner who has upgraded a couple of times, I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. The Marchisotto's (owners, Carl and Marilyn) have always been very responsive and easy to work with. They seem genuinely interested in seeing that th... 
Classe CA-400 Vs. BAT VK500/1000, which is better?
Hi, I can only compare my current BAT Vk-500 (with BAT pack) to a Classe DR25 I used to own (both at 250 wpc). Each were an upgrade for me from my previous amps, and both were/are run balanced. The BAT is dead quiet, if there is any noise, it is o... 
re-finish of dunlavy speakers?
If they are truly an oak veneer, you should be able to refinish them by stripping the black (laquer?) and applying a stain then your choice of poly or laquer. I did this to my Alon V's and used a blended stain (provencial,walnut,and mahogony) then...
