Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Expensive QS8 Stand

Hi,

i've just taken delivery of an Axiom system, and am busy determining speaker placement.

at one point, i stopped, and stared at this:



A pair of new QS8s rest on the old front speakers - a pair of Allison: Ones from nearly 30 years ago.

The QS8s resemble the old Allison: Fours, except the Fours did not have downward-firing drivers.

The Ones will be (hopefully) rebuilt, provided i can find a decent set of woofers. Anyone out there know where i might find a suitable replacement?

Thanks,

Elden

nevermind

Man, I wanted a pair of those allisons bad when I was in high school. I want to say they were $1500 at the time- might as well been $15000. Wanted dcm timewindows in college- didn't get those either. Come to think of it, the dcms may have been $1500, either way...
Parts express has a pretty wide selection of drivers,not all of which are cheap, you might check there if you havn't already.

I had a pair of DCM TimeFrame 400's.... Let's just say that they don't compare at all to my Axioms!

LOVE IT!

But, aren't you supposed to use soup cans to prop them up?

Ditto on partsexpress. Seems like they should have something that would work.

Duckman - we're in the same timeframe. i couldn't afford them either, but made a personal promise to eventually have them.

a few years later, the stock at the company i was working for split, and i couldn't think of anything better to do with the windfall

thanks everyone for the suggestions.
