My husband passed away 7 years ago and left two Allison speakers. He bought them before we were married so I don't know much about them. They are in great shape, oak cabinet, serial K-11440 and work just fine. Can someone please give me any additional information and advise as to whether or not I should keep them.

Here are a few photos. Thanks.

I forgot to add the dimensions. 11 inches wide, 10.5 inches deep, and 24 inches high.

Based on the dimensions they appear to be AL 120s. If you take off the grills, are there two woofers and a tweeter? If so, they are AL 120s.

Thanks. I took the grill off and there appears to be a woofer, a tweeter and a mid range (at least that is what a friend told me). Does that make sense?

The AL 120 did not have a mid range. Are two of the speakers the same size, but one with its cone facing into the box (the magnet is facing out) and the other with its cone facing out? If so, it is an AL 120 and considered a very good speaker. You also said it had a serial number. Doesn't the tag with the serial number indicate the model?

I just thought of this. Go the homepage of this website. Click on Library. Click on Allison. Click on Other. Click on 1983 and 1989. Two pages will appear. Click on the page marked 1989. This lists the AL series with pictures of the speakers with their grills off. Look for the one that matches your speaker.
