    I don't have any contact details but Ian Vaudin of V'Audio in Bristol used to be an Alon dealer and may be able to help.

    He now advertises on eBay as "ianvhifi", as I don't think V'Audio are still around as a company.

    Good luck

    Another for Wembley here,

    One guy on the SpeakerTalk forum had difficulties with a speaker re-cone company regarding his Kef 107 bass drivers, a company called Audioloudspeakers had his drivers for 9 months without doing the work, in the end he managed to get his drive units returned, sent them to Wembley and had his drivers back fully refurbished within two weeks.

    I myself will use Wembley for re-cones, and they are also easy to talk to and they reply quickly to emails.

    I had intended buying a B-Line 600 driver from them, but something else came up.
