I have soft dome tweeter, from the outside, it looks fine but if you put the dome against the light, the light goes through the dome, any recommended fix. Some option that I can think of is spray painting the backside with paint. A tech recommended 30 percent elmers glue and 70 percent water...

It is a downfiring woofer made in the early 2000.

Got the speaker on the used market, seller mentioned that it did not sound right. Visual inspection and of the cone, original dust cap and edges and VC measurements ,5.5 ohms as per customer service of the manufacturer, indicates that the woofer was never repaired. When I had it serviced, it...

I had a woofer repaired with a mis-aligned VC. What could possibly cause a VC to be mis-aligned when the cone, surround and spider is intact and undamaged?

funny, I had JBL L112 before the Alons. I thought these were one of my "forever speakers", until the Alons came along, the JBL were sold for the same reason you mentioned below. I have a small room, I can do concert levels with my solid state 50 watts Class A Amp. Tried 35 watts, push pull...

Not sure what Alon speakers you are talking about, but the Alon 4 are 105 lbs each with 12 inch woofers in a 4 foot tall enclosure.

Currently using an Acarian Alon 4 with a 15 inch Rythmik sub. Would the Dynaudio partnered with the same sub be an upgrade or just a different flavor. I am actually pretty happy with the Acarian and Rythmik combo, just curious if anyone would have experienced with the two speakers. Dynaudio is...

If the amp/receiver has pre-power in, you can install a potentionmeter or a passive pre-amp in between that would reduce the volume to a certain point that allows the guest to max out the volume using the main volume control, but without actually maxing out the amps volume

Is this somewhat of a sought after unit?

Anyone knows the model of this one?

I tried my Alon 4 on the Pioneer SX-1250 (160 wpc at 8 ohms/ 200 at 4 ohm), after an hour or so, I could not touch the SX-1250's heat sinks, eventually the SX-1250 died :( before this, I have been using the SX-1250 regularly on Infinity Kappa 7 and JBLL112 without any issues. I eventually...

The Alons II are 4 ohms and 87dB, make sure your amp can handle 4 ohms, My Alon 4 has similar specs, 87dB and 4 ohms, but it goes down to 3 ohms at 70hz

Jumper cables are fine. I use Canare 4S11 Biwire cables on my Alon 4, their good and inexpensive. What amp are you going to use on the Alon II?

It has a distorted sound. it only rubs on one side, all the other side is fine, anyways I was able to fix the problem by hitting the edge of the frame on the opposite side with a hammer.

Got a 10 inch subwoofer which rubs when push on one side of the cone. I have read that removing the dust cap and putting shims and applying acetone on the spider softens the spider and realligns the voice coil. The question is, how many drops of acetone is needed for a 10 inch subwoofers spider?
