  • I’ve been in an Allison internet group for several years. Roy Allison would reply occasionally and there were some speaker designers on there as well. Anyways, everyone says to not screw with the cross overs. They are built very well and unless you see them leaking it’s just a pain to get in there.

    I own One’s, Three’s, two Sets of Nines, and a pair of Six’s. I’ve always wanted 2’s and 4’s. I unfortunately don’t have a big house in the suburbs so only 3 pairs live in my house and surround sound isn’t really an option with my room setup. I have the One’s and Six’s are at a couple different friends houses though.

    Anyways, I got them all pretty cheap and refoamed them as well. I’m eager to A/B test these with the KEFs…I can’t find my YPAO Mic at the moment though either. I think Allison Speakers are the best bang for your buck since they aren’t well known you can get them fairly cheap.


  • I was going to run them both through Room EQ Wizard and my calibration mic to get a reading on that.

    What do you play for the SPL meter to read the same? I can tell the Allison speakers are much louder. I need to find my cal mic for my phone so I can do a quick SPL reading. Would be nice to A/B them with EQ and volume adjustments so they are as close to end game as possible on each channel. I forget where I read it, but there was a study of how quickly you forget sound comparisons so it’s a good idea to be able to switch back and forth quickly. Might have been the same article that showed volume greatly impacted the impressions as well.
