a more efficient speaker is were i may have to go.
Just a thought:
Even though they are different from your Alon IV maybe try a pair of JBLs like the ones below: Sensitivity 93dB @ 1watt 8 Ohm's 2 meters efficiency is 1.7%. If you can find an early pair (1981-1984) they have ALNICO midrange Compression drivers model #2421A. FWIW: I previously owned JBL 4430's, I currently own JBL 4435's.
