Anyone here own Allison Acoustics speakers?

My Allison ones lived with adjacent wall placement for 13 years in my first house, which was a small high ranch with a finished basement…… Beggars can’t be choosers. The basement is where they resided, although it was finished and had a fireplace down there so some of those music sessions were quite nice, my sweet spot was a couch facing into the corner of those adjacent walls.

The corners eluded me because both speakers were too far away from either corner to take take advantage of those sidewall reflections. All being said still sounded pretty sweet
Yes, adjacent walls were (as I am sure you know) said to be OK by Allison himself (or themselves -- corporately speaking ;) ).

I sold the ones I had (CD9 and Ones) before I ever got into measurements but now I want to see what their in-room response would be like.

Wondering if anyone here had a pair in use and could take REW room measurements with them in their recommended locations.
…… Problem is these speakers are so old and off the radar that gaining those measurements with REW Would be slim to none.
 
Perhaps you could find an Allison 8 for the center?
I’ve always been intrigued by the original Allison eight. Some years ago a forum member. (at another side.) refurbished, a pair beautifully repopulating them with the latest shielded versions of the mid range in Tweeters and took some nice pictures.

It would be fun to have a pair for stereo listening, but the top firing woofer presents a problem for me Especially for placement with the flatscreen and the rest of the gear the way I like to have it.
the current situation I use with a pair of two way Allison’s is more than enough power gets the center channel job done quite nicely.

I'm in Southern California and I would travel to you to get the measurements.
