I own the Alon V MKIIS with upgraded woofers but not the tweeters. First off, the speakers are slightly to the warm side of neutral. Not like the Sonus Faber speakers but overall slightly warm. They are open sounding so you do not hear a "box" sound. The bass is good to very good but not as deep as some speakers that I have owned including the Talon Raven C speakers, they were just amazing in the bass area. Overall they Alon speakers are coherent top to bottom with only a hint (if you can hear it sometimes) of hearing the cross-over point between the mid range and woofer (you may or may not be able to hear this and if you do, it is very rare depending on the recording). You should have Sound Anchor bases made for the speakers as they are not that heavy and you need to use better spikes for carpeting.
The Alons are very dynamic, open, airy, pretty fast and overall a very musical speaker. As always, careful matching with an amp will allow you to achieve better sound in your home and system. I have used SS amps, hybrid and tube amps. Tubes make these speakers really come alive and you need at least 100 wpc. I did bi-amp them with a Graaf 50 wpc tube amp and a modified Hafler DH-220 and that added another level to the sound. Bi-wiring the speaker is recommended.
They are pretty easy to place in the home and you can dial in a big center stage if you desire.
If you are looking to upgrade, Bill at Miller Sound in PA will do the cross-overs for a reasonable fee, but he always has more work then he can handle so you need to schedule time with Bill. I have not had mine upgraded but I am thinking of it.
If you need any more info on the speakers, shoot me an email.
Happy Listening.
