NOLA Speakers


I have Alon 2 speakers and wanted to upgrade to the Alon 5s. Alon went out of business but the designer started a new companyu that makes NOLAs. Does anyone out there own a pair, and if so, what do they think of them?

Looking at your post again, to be clear, the speaker itself is supported by the ball bearings that are placed in the cutouts for them in the separate flat base that goes on the floor.  I don't know if the Baby Grands have spikes for that base; my Micro References have a stand mount that does have spikes on the feet of the stand.

 

By the way, great speakers; hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy my Micros.

Yes thank you.  I love the sound of the Baby Grands.  I have worked things out and found someone to machine my missing parts.  Speakers are now installed on top of the isolation platforms and life sounds great!

I had Alon Vs. Installed new Circe bass drivers, new Alnico tweeters, new Circe outboard crossovers and, while they sounded good, they were not my cup of tea. The polarity was that they were moderately hard to drive (needed some watts) yet they sounded best with tube amps.  They sound dry with SS amps, IMO.  Tube amps with watts were expensive so I eventually bailed.
