Cool. Glad the stands are proving usefull. Here they just sat in storage for six years. Too tall for my ADS710s, which like to be closer to the floor. Let me know what you figure out on the Allisons.
Thinking about midranges----You know one of my ADS had a midrange issue, a slight "raspiness". All I did was rotate it 180 degrees. I'm thinking the voice coil was touching......30+ years of gravity makes things sag, as we are painfully aware.:tears:

Understood. Those tapes were just sitting in that box of mine for 'who knows how long".
Again, understood and I agree. I marked the woofers when I removed them, then changed the orientation after refoam when I installed them. Figured it couldn't hurt. I'm hoping the midrange is a minor problem. I probably will rotate it as suggested. Also, that's one that has a 'dimple' in the dome, and I guess it's possible it could be inducing a mild shape distortion into the voice coil. If that's true, maybe popping out the dimple might restore the voice coil to it's proper shape. We'll see.

Could very well be. The dimple would definitely cause dispersion issues. Wouldn't hurt to fix it anyways.

Well done and well stated! Those who could not make this one, you really missed out. The early spring one is scheduled for my place where SS gear prevails, and maybe a summer event in Fredericksburg! We will keep you posted. Thanks to all who participated, and especially to Rick and Amy who did a spectacular job!
Thanks,
Jim

Regarding that pushed in dome I have had great luck using a small artist,s brush to wipe hot water onto the dome then using the vacuum cleaner. You just need to get the hose close, not right on the dome. Dampening the dome allows the area around the dent to re-assume its original shape.
Well looked at it again last night and rotating it IS NOT an option. Why? Allison has a unique system for connecting leads on the drivers and the leads are on the face of the driver, then connect to spring loaded terminals on the face of the cabinet adjacent to the driver. Yeah I could physically rotate it, but then the leads would be reversed and the driver would be out of phase with the others.
Did you do this on a Allison dome driver or other brand?

I left you one on the area where the records were, facing the front of the house. If it's gone I'll send you one
Yeah the Allison Two speakers sounded pretty good save for that lone midrange that has a problem.
Unfortunately a bit too late to be enjoyed during the fest, however my -Allison One- speakers arrived today ! Long story and I'll post a separate thread, however these things sound NICE! As a bonus, my friend loaned me a good midrange to use in my Allison Two! So I can play them while I try and troubleshoot that midrange driver.
