Does anyone have a pair of Allison speakers for sale? Let me know what you have and the price.

There's a couple of pair here:
Allison speakers, Home Audio, Vintage Electronics items on eBay.com
The CD-6 speakers have a damaged driver. The PB 8.2 speakers are the new version of my AL-115's. I love my AL-115's!

In case you don't know about it already, there's an Allison forum here:
The Classic Speaker Pages Discussion Forums (Powered by Invision Power Board)
You may find something around there. Do you already have some, and want more, or are you looking your first pair?

I have a in near mint condition and would like a pair of another model. I love my CD-7s. I have never had anything that images as well in a medium sized room.

If I had the money, I'd be all over those PB 8.2's. They'd be a perfect match with mine. I'd use them as my rear speakers, and then all I'd need would be an Allison center.

I've tried to tell people about Allison speakers. Because they've never heard of them, they just ignore them. Their loss! It's really a shame........ Several people at AudioKarma.org, have Allisons, and have raved about them. Some found their's at Goodwill Outlet stores, or Salvation Army Outlets. Keep an eye on Craig's List too.
Good luck!

I am interested. Is it a top grille of one of the front grilles that is damaged? How bad is the damage?

Yes, it's the top grill(e) from one of the speakers. It's beat up pretty bad, has a couple of long cracks and is missing a chunk off the edge, about an inch wide. It's been detached from the speaker and I haven't bothered to glue it back on. These plastic grills are pretty brittle, so if you have any kind of damage, it's probably a goner. I think I've seen a link somewhere where you can purchase a replacement. The exposed tweeter and midrange paper cones are a bit knocked in, but I don't detect any difference in sound from the other speaker. As far as function is concerned, no issues that I can tell.

Do you still have the speakers for sale?
