I currently own the DQ-8s and love them! In fact, I bought them new when I was 17, so that means I've been using them more or less continuously for 24 years.
But... a friend is selling a pair of Alon IIs (re-foamed), and I'm considering taking the plunge, given that these, like the DQ-8s, were designed by Carl Marchisotto and share certain things in common, such as the open baffle and phased array. Has anyone here heard both speakers and able to give me their thoughts on which they liked best and why? I use a B&K ST-120 amp (the later version) with basic grey and black Kimber cable bi-wired to the DQ-8s.
