Family Portrait: My Allison Acoustics

As promised, here's a photo of all of my Allison Acoustics speakers in one place.

Front row center: Allison CD8s
Front row outside: Allison Eights
Back row: three pairs of Allison CD6s (two pairs in oak, one pair in walnut)
Note: Yes, the drivers are missing from the center pair of CD6s -- I'm getting ready to refoam the woofers, and picked up a replacement tweeter today.

I'm still looking for a pair of CD7s and CD9s, maybe a pair of Allison Fours.

I just love the way they sound! :banana:

You see what happens when you leave a set of Allisons alone together at night...

And I still have six more pairs of various brands in my listening room! I've got to thin the herd soon! BTW -- I do have that Allison brochure for you, I just haven't gotten near the post office this week!
 
Very nice looking collection!

I have some older 4s that need some work. Even with the shot surrounds it sounded pretty good.

Thanks for the compliment. :D

The Allison Fours are an interesting speaker, but I am told that precise room placement is critical and takes awhile to figure out properly.

Once I get my hands on a pair of them I'll do what it takes to get it "right." :yes:

The 4's are indeed interesting speakers. They look like Bose 901's with the tweeters angled on either side and the woofer firing upwards. I stuck mine on some stands and without giving thought on placement and I was surprise how good they sounded.

I should get them fixed up!

Definitely fix 'em up -- they are worth the effort.

Over the years I've come across -- and lost track of -- information on how to place them. If I can find it again I'll send it to you, although it sounds like you got it right on the first try! :yes:
