Apparently Doro tried to move this thread up here from the Flea market and got it "messed Up":rolleyes: No problem.

Just noticed these Allison Four speakers on EBAY and the auction is about to end. I have had a pair of these for 30 years and will never sell them. True giant killers for anybody looking for a classic speaker of this proportion. Sound MUCH bigger than they really are and with a great sound stage. Starting price (no bids yet) of $399 are a tad more than normal but the condition is driving the price. I just wish mine looked like these. Highly recommended (even at this price).

No affliation BTW.

    I always wanted a pair when I was younger. Used to stare at the glossy literature I collected from circling readers choice numbers on the mail in cards out of the Stereo Reviews of the day.

    I can't tell you how much literature crap I used to get in the mail during high school (early mid 70's) by doing exactly the same thing. Thats when i used to know all the stupid stats (not that I really knew what they meant) about new equipment. I remember standing in "Wall to Wall Sound" a mid-fi stereo store in Abington, PA when they just received their first model of a Pioneer SX1010 (I think). The guy unloading was complaining how heavy it was so I proceeded to tell him exactly the weight, power, THD etc. They looked at me like "who the hell is this guy?" I have since forgotten everything:o

    Well, sold for $431. Doubt you could find a better current speaker for that price.
