Thank you all for your input and advice. As much as I'd love make these my forever speakers, I think they will become a project, which I'll enjoy. I'm going to purchase some new speakers and work on my Allison's over time. BTW Newandold, I had already been in touch with Simply Speakers and am on the waiting list for a their suggestion which is out of stock.

Thanks Kent. Really appreciate all your advice.

I know, they will never sound the same, and it's not an ideal situation, butt I'm not ready to part with them. Looked at Miller Sound and they don't service Allison. "no exceptions" So I'm back to replacing the woofers. I have the specs for the original, but not sure when I look up replacements if I'm getting it right. Woofer: 8" Impedance: 4 ohms nominal Resonance Freq: 59Hz Low Freq. performance: - 3db @ 46.5 Hz Sensitivity, SPL: 90 db, 2.83v/1m Efficiency: 0.7% in average room, 30Watts per channel will generate 100 dbSPL Recommended Power: 15 to 150 watts per channel

Curious why they would have to be Allison. Is it not possible to find a replacement that would “fit”?

While beginning the refoaming process I discovered one of the spiders is immobile. Like it’s paralyzed. No movement or even the ability to move. The cone is stuck in place. I suspect it may have been that way when I got it 30+ years ago. The other spider has sagged. I think that can be addressed, but I think I’m better off replacing both woofers.

New here. I've had my Allison CD6 speakers since 1987. Sadly I need to replace the woofers. Please, any suggestions would be welcome.
