Jaybo, perhaps I need to clarify my inquiry about Blue Ridge's statement that boldly states the Allisons are "Widely considered to be one of the finest, if not the finest sounding loudspeakers ever produced". Really? I've never heard anyone here on this forum put the Allisons right at the top of the mountain of ALL speakers EVER produced. Blue Ridge's wording "ever produced..." is one heck of a statement and seems much more than just a qualifier about a good classic design speaker to reference against. Saying that the Allisons are AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME right near the very top of all speakers, bar none, ever made, has me seriously scratching my head.
