Allison Acoustics drivers
Hello all I demod a pair of Allison CD-9s today, and was absolutely blown away by them. Unfortunately, I heard a bit of distortion (maybe rub between the voice coil and the Magnet?) in one of the mid drivers (it sounded staticy). Given their odd shape and design, I assumed those things are...- scootsity5

Allison Acoustics 110 mystery
So, I roll by the thrift store today. On the shelf, priced $4.50, are a set of vintage Allison Acoustics speakers. They are the "Allison: 110" model. Despite the cracked 8-inch woofer surrounds, they came home with me. I have seen several variations of the "Allison: 110" speaker while... -

Allison Model 1 Restoration - Matching veneer/finish question
A friend's father was downsizing and I have been given a pair of Allison Acoustics Model 1 speakers. They were in somewhat rough shape: woofers foam was rotten, scrathes on tops, bases had seen some moisture damage.

Allison Five - Great little speakers
l purchased a pair of Allison Fives online a few months back and am completely blown away by the sound that comes out of these little boxes. I listened to a bunch of "bookshelf" speakers prior to buying the Allison Fives and wasn't satisfied with any of them. I live in Tasmania, a small island...- Sandpaper7

Allison CD9 speaker restoration, any help appreciated!
I am the proud new foster parent of a gently used and well loved pair of Allison CD9 3 way speakers in light oak. Both have 10 woofers in need of refoaming, one has 3 splits the other intact and slightly tacky. I plan to do this on my own using Simply Speakers of Florida's kit on ebay. I have... -

Re-attach Magnet to Allison CD8?
So I scored a pair of Allison Acoustics CD8's from my local Goodwill for $25. I knew by the initial inspection that they'd need a fair amount of TLC. The top woofers needed to be refoamed and they were caked in a layer of dust a quarter inch thick. But the tweeters and mid rangers looked to be... -

Integrated amp to power Allison 6s for small space
Hello all, I'm looking to put together a system for my ( tiny - 8' x 8' ) bedroom. I'd love to build it up around a pair of Allison 6s - they're the perfect size, I really like the aesthetic & was bowled over by a friend's pair of 5s, so I'm pretty sure it's the sound I'm looking for. I've been...- Depthgrammar

Allison Model Nine (early bi-amp version)
Hi all, I've had a very busy few weeks. I acquired a pair of Allison Model Nine (the original bi-amp version) recently. The subs are pretty gnarly, but I think they can be salvaged. The tweeters are good and the mids are good (although one is dented, it isn't effecting performance). I play...- lattiboy
