Is there a way to determine if a crossover is bad? That is, if the caps need replacing or something else? Is there a phone app I can use to read output or something? I don’t even know how this would be input or read but I remember in grad school that microphones can be self calibrating...

Hi, I picked up a pair of Allison LC 120s and it turns out the 8" woofers have been replaced with a poly coned, rubber surround unit whose only identifier is mpw08900913-1 9418. The woofer sounds like it is perhaps 3 dB louder than it should be based on using an equalizer. Does anyone know...

I've got a pair of mint Allison Threes (I'm the very long time second owner) and have discovered that the foam surrounds have finally given up the ghost. Bound to happen after 30 years, I guess... Anyway, I have replacement surrounds ordered, but until they arrive, am I really in danger of...

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...

Hey everyone, I picked up a pair of Allison 7s and refoamed them, replaced the 8uf cap and cleaned everything up. They are a 9.99/10. These are now as if they just left the showroom floor. I know original MSRP according to HIFI classic was $450.00/pr in the mid eighties . What would be...

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...

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...

I bought a pair of Allison CD6 speakers used. One speaker works fine. The other does not. When I turn the receiver on I get a pop from the speaker and then it shuts down. I've connected the working speaker and a known working speaker I've used recently. They both work fine. I removed the...

Hello all My two Allison Six speakers grills need to be replaced as they are now falling apart :-( I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to re-create this type of part using a 3-D printer Thanks for your feedback on this (perhaps foolish) idea.. Jacques

Hello I have a friend I promised to help fix his Allison two speakers. Ive been having a very hard time tracking down the right parts not in the same or worse condition. One of the woofers appears to have a blown voicecoil and his young son pushed in one of the tweeters. I was wondering if...
