dee1949 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 ....got a great pair of the One's with xcellent grilles and cabinets. Of course Foam rot. Already ordered the foam surrounds.Can't wait to compare them to my rebuilt Maggies MG-1's. In days of future's past I also had a pair of DCM Time Windows and a pair of Shahinian Obelisk. Wondering how they would compare to the One's....these are the early ONE's ...low digit serials?Major problem for setup is getting them against a wall. The Maggies need to be placed out in the room for best results.For good old loud ROCK I still have my Klipsch Forte II's. Totally different sound I imagine.Any helpful HINTS appreciated. Doesn't seem like there are many Allision LUVERS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem like there are many Allision LUVERS.I have about 10 hours on my pair of One's and I have to admit, now that the surrounds are breaking in, I like them. Keep in mind that not only against the wall but try to keep them about 2 feet from corners as well. I have mind setup this way.From what I have read here and if you have not already done so, subscribe to the Allison Yahoo Group:http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allison-speakers/be very careful of the tinsel leads to the mids and tweeters, VERY fragile. Which version model ones do you have? From what I have seen, there are 2 variants. One with gold binding posts in the front baffle and the other without. The version without are setup for bi-amping as well.Yank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee1949 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 .....Made a mistake....these are actually Allison Two's......they have the 8" woofers but same midrange and tweeters.Just had all 4 woofers professionally refoamed and slowly breaking them in. They have a beautiful sound with a WIDEsoundstage. Great highs and midrange. Unfortunately I can't get them against a wall, so I am missing a lot of their design benefits.For that reason I might SELL them. The grills are 100% and cabinets are a 8.5. They look and sound BEAUTIFUL. As nice a pair as you will find.FOR SALE ..................If anyone in Washington DC area is interested (No shipping) the price is..............$600.00 - Allison Two.....audition them Before buying in zip 20017For now, I will have to stay with my moded Maggies (MG-1). What is amazing , that the Allison's being a box speaker, has a similar sound to the Maggies...a bipolar planar speaker. I know I will regret it. But, from the picture you can see.....no available wall space. "Every picture tells a STORY....Don't it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
