Allison One speakers


Does anyone out there have any background on the Allison One speakers? I recently purchased a set and upon trying to research, the Blue Book price guide states they were made in 2001, but these seem a bit older to me. The ones I have match in appearance to the Allison:One shown on the Classic Speakers website and utilize the same configuration of 2-10" woofers, 2-midrange and 2-tweeters mounted in a walnut finished cabinet that is triangular (if viewed from above) shaped. Very heavy. Were these perhaps an earlier version of a speaker system that was reissued in 2001 or could these be of that vintage and just "feel" older to me? Let me know what you think or know. I would like to get some background on these for myself if I decide to keep or for the next owner if I decide to sell. Thank you in advance for your help.

I agree with Zaikesman. I owned Allison Ones 1976-1991 and studpidly, idiotically literally threw them away when I bought Wilson Watt Puppies, at the same time I threw away my LPs. Double Dumb. I didn't throw away my Allison Three's however and they still work perfectly, although the grilles are gone. I had the drivers re-foamed. In 2008 I bought Allison Fours (2001 models)and they are superb. The Allisons may not be modern, but they work better against walls trhan most other speakers. Enjoy the Ones, they are superb speakers!
