• Alon II Speakers

    •⁠  Overview – The Alon II Speakers, released in the mid-1990s, are American-designed open-baffle hybrid loudspeakers featuring a dynamic woofer and dipole mid/tweeter array for expansive, room-filling soundstage realism.

    •⁠  Open-Baffle Design – Utilizing a dipole midrange and tweeter configuration, Alon II Speakers create exceptional spatial depth and imaging precision, minimizing box coloration while delivering natural, airy high-frequency extension.

    •⁠  Bass Performance – A sealed dynamic woofer provides articulate, tuneful low-frequency response, blending seamlessly with the open midrange section to produce balanced tonality and impressive dynamic scale in medium-sized rooms.

    •⁠  Specifications – 2-way hybrid dipole design, sensitivity approximately 87–89 dB, nominal 4-ohm impedance, recommended amplification 50–200 W, frequency response extending roughly 30 Hz–20 kHz, optimized for high-current solid-state amplification.

    •⁠  Dimensions – Each cabinet measures approximately 39 in high × 12 in wide × 15 in deep, with an open rear mid/high section requiring thoughtful room placement for best performance.

    •⁠  Weight – Each speaker weighs approximately 60–70 lbs (27–32 kg), reflecting solid cabinetry, substantial crossover components and robust driver assemblies.
