ALLISON ACOUSTICS Pair Speakers

SUMMARY OF ALLISON ACOUSTICS SPEAKERS • Label: Marked as Allison 130 (serial M 1038 and M-1028) • Driver Layout: 1 × 8" woofer + 1 × tweeter → 2 way system, not the expected 3 way of the 130. • True Identity: Functionally it’s closer to the Allison 120 (2 way, woofer + tweeter). • Cabinet Dimensions: 28" H × 16.5" W × 7.5" D → these match the Allison Model FOUR from the Classic Series. • Rarity: This combination suggests a transitional or misbadged unit — a Model 120 style driver set in a Model FOUR sized cabinet, but labeled “130.” WHAT MAKES IT RARE • Allison was known for boundary optimized designs, and during the early 1990s they were shifting from triangular cabinets (Models ONE–THREE) to rectangular ones (110–130). • Your unit reflects that transitional period, where parts and cabinet stock were mixed. • Collectors value these anomalies because they show Allison’s manufacturing quirks and design evolution.
