GWSmith Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Ok my friends.........GOOD MORNING from the North East. A sunny morning at that here in MA. To get my day started, I went into the LFMH library and pulled this one out. A Columbia/lLegacy release. I too made a 'slight change' to the livingroom Bang and Olufsen 6500 series system. I will save that for my next post. Meanwhile, from what is spinning on the U-Turn custom at the moment... Side 1 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I decided at the suggestion of a long time friend, that I put my vintage pair of speakers with the vintage gear from Denmark. So, out of 'storage' I installed a MINT pair of Allison 130 3-way speakers. The 10" drivers have new surrounds and were re-doped. Unaltered, and looking very nice in their REAL oak veneer. Dated 1987. They are on short tilt back stands. Just took this pic to share with you all. Roy Allison's company was in Natick MA. and he is also responsible for getting Acoustic Research (AR) off the ground. Cleary the early 'acoustic suspension' = East Coast sound which these speakers were part of that movement . These units are a rare find these days, and have the famous Allison INVERTED 5" midrange and 1" tweeter. I also have the Allison LC 120ies, a 2-way version with an 8" bass driver, also new surrounds. However, they are walnut vinyl covered. There is your Allison history lesson in short. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Oh, I took these photos the other day. Here are the two models side by side. These were NEVER in a home audio situation. They were (with many more of these) part of an electronic/pipe organ installation in a church. Our organ company updated the speakers in the chambers and removed all the dusty Allisons. They just needed to be cleaned up after being behind church grills since 1987. Here you go. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 @MicroMara looks like that therapy is workin quite nicely to me. Great to hear you're on the mend though. Just take it easy so ya don't undo what you've done. @Full Range seems as though you pulled another one on us! Congrats! Should sound fantastic so keep us posted. @GWSmith you just keep pullin stuff outta the woodwork. I'm kinda jelly actually cause I've got stuffs sittin in an upstairs bedroom it's just getting it down here. Then comes all the werk that goes w/it sittin around and zero room in here. Sucks to be me. lol THEN @AndreG. jumps in. Always a fun watch. 😂 He's toast and finally starting to admit it, which makes it even funnier! We got ya brother! 😂💪😎 Just about time to back the car out, throw some junk in the trash can, clean the inside of the windshield up, shower and suit up for that 2-hour drive down to catch Keb Mo this evening @ 8 then the drive back. Still not sold out and it really baffles me. Guy's killin it everywhere he plays. Back in the day it was just another stop and no biggie. Today, it's a pita. Food & craft beer are laid on to give 'em somethin else to talk about tomorrow. Now it's just gettin the gaggle loaded up and figurin out Google in order to dodge those orange barrels and the ridiculous detours as a result of 'em. Blah. I'm a survivor! Wait don't forget the meds for walkin. I'll be moonwalkin by the time I get there. These kids ain't got nuttin on me! "With age comes wisdom." Kinda maybe! "Hey, remember that old guy with the hearing aids? Man, he was gettin his groove on fo' sure!" The struggle is real. 😂 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
