- Have you heard the Alon II's yet? I didn't even know they existed. I
- heard the Alon IV's at Audio Breakthroughs on Long Island when they
- first came out and fell in love immediately. I had always loved the
- Dahlquist DQ-20's, but the new DQ series speakers, (the 30 in
- particlar) just didn't sound right, even with the crossover change.
- Dahlquist can't build speakers, or rather they can't design good
- speakers without Carl Marchisotto. When it's time to upgrade from my
- Dahlquist M903 and M905's, I'll look to Carl for the best sould available.
