the alon ivs are great--huge soundstage, very musical. they don't seem terribly fussy about electronics--a good friend of mine runs his with a marantz avr and they sound fine--i'd try 'em out with some m0re modest gear before you pop for a vtl.
Alon Speakers
Anyone familiar with ALON speakers? I have the ALON ModelIV speakers, bought new, and recently, replaced all drivers with aid of Carl Marshiotto, owner of Alon/Nola. I have no amp now to listen though. I had 2 Adcom GFA555 amps, but got rid of them, these deserve much better. I just cant afford any better, not sure when I will be able to. But I think they need VTL or Krell, something of that caliber. Ray
