Re: Allison Six refurb
Really looking forward to hearing how you get on Lazmo. You are a few steps ahead if me in the process. I've got all my steel just need the glue. Should be done nnext week. I will need to wait until the new year for replacement tweeters etc. Keep us posted with this process!

Re: Allison Six refurb
I ordered mine from visaton direct via there website realised after i had paid for P+P they are not far from me in crewe cheshire i could of picked them up oh well! wouldn't usually be a concern but with xmas looming and the postal service possibly going to suffer delays it may have been quicker.

Woofer now wired direct to terminals and they are transformed. On reflection, they were too forward before, but I do seem to like the balance now. At the same time there's a real clean punch and projection to the sound, once you've got them dialled in room positioning wise..
