negative - looks to me like an homage to (ripoff of) an Allison

The proprietary Allison drivers were a big part of the design.
That thing looks to me like an out of focus cross between an Allison and the orignal DCM timewindow (but with cheaper drivers).
A "real" Allison One (my pair came from my favorite audio emporium, no less):
... and a 'real' Allison One midrange (as damaged by Zappa the cat)...
A butt-ugly DCM timewindow (I paid actual $ for this pair; fortunately not too much - and they do sound great):
I am, truth be told, getting a "Synergistics" vibe. Synergistics was a value-leader (high margin!) semi-off-brand speaker sold, e.g., by Stereo Discounters in the mid-Atlantic. Not quite junk, but not really "high end", either.
That said, I've never seen a Synergistics speaker quite like the one in the photo at the top of this thread...
Here, FWIW, are a couple of catalog scans I have handy of a couple of 'real' Synergistics speakers...
These are some of the 'better' models...
