Allison Acoustics Speakers (1 Viewer)

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 have a pair of Allison CD6 if you are interested.

The tweeter are fine but the woofer foam is falling apart. The cabinet is in good condition and still have the grill. Let me know if you are interested.

I am interested. What is the price?

I have a pair of CD-9 speakers for sale. Fine working condition, one of the grills is damaged. Asking $250.

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?

Pair of AL-115 in PERFECT CONDITION, never touched, used, or refurbished. These are rare and very hard to come by.
$1000
I also have a pair of AL-120s in PERFECT CONDITION, never touched, used, or refurbished. These are rare and very hard to come by.
$1600
My prized possessions...

You don't know how much I would love to have the AL-115s. I have a pair I've had for about 15 yrs. (oak finish), and I love them. The foam is falling apart on them now. Heck, I can't even afford the $20+ refoam kit right now, so I definitely can't buy a pair of speakers. Good luck selling them. Whoever buys them will be getting one heck of a speaker.

How about a trade? I have the pair of AL-115s in my possession for either some cash or a good trade. Also have the AL-120 speakers (pair). Would be willing to trade if there's something i need or want. Also, I have a couple of actual "bookshelf" speakers. It's model number is REF-303BK made by Stanford Advanced Acoustic Technology (SAAT). I think SAAT was part of Allison or may have been owned or did own Allison before, not sure though. But anyways it's a pair of speakers that looks like actual books. Amazon used to sell them for $150 + shipping. Pretty good speakers if you ask me...

How much are a pair of Allison I worth?

You can keep an eye on eBay, to see what Allisons usually sell for.

Have the same answer here..
Allison Ones show up on eBay every once in awhile.
Y'all can go to audiokarma.org and ask there too. Several people there have Allison Ones, and other models.

This thread has a lot of action for speakers that supposedly no one has heard of . I'm vaguely familiar with them but maybe I should investigate a little more. I'm mostly happy with what I have but there's no harm in learning something new!
