The Allison Six is a brilliant design, with a shocking level of low end from such a little cabinet. In stark contrast to most speakers who call themselves "bookshelf" models, the Allison Six looks you dead in the eye when they say it. Specifically intended for use with its back to the wall, on a shelf, table, or bookcase – even mounted on the wall. Their versatility is second only to their aesthetics – these little lookers would be right at home in nearly any design-forward listening room.

Type Two-way, bookshelf speaker
Tweeter one 1-inch (25 mm ) Convex Diaphragm
Woofer one 8-inch (203 mm)
Crossover Frequency 2 kHz
Crossover Network LC quarter-section. Air-core choke and polyester capacitor are used. Two-position control switch (accessible from front) supplied for selection of system acoustic power response, from nominally flat to gentle HF rolloff.
Impedance 4 Ω nominal, (3,5 Ω minimum in any balance control setting)
Efficiency better than 0,7% when placed with back against wall.
Minimum Amplifier Power 15 watts per channel to produce 97 dB sound pressure level in most domestic room environments; 30 watts per channel for 100 dB SPL
Power Handling Capability At least 15 watts continuous or average, at any frequency. At least 35 watts peak at resonance frequency. Over most of the frequency range, at least 350 watts for 0.1 second; 125 watts for 1 second; or 60 watts for 10 seconds.
System Resonance Frequency 59 Hz, nominal
Effective System Q 1.0. Power response -3 dB at 46,5 Hz; -6 dB at 39 Hz, when placed close to center of large wall. Low-frequency output increases when system is placed in typical positions with respect to side wall and floor or ceiling
Enclosure stabilized Radiation Loading sealed acoustic suspension design.
Internal Volume 14,1 litres (860 cubic inches)
Material particle Board veneered with walnut, oiled finish.
Dimensions 11.25"H x 11.25"W x 11.25"D
Weight 17 lbs. ea.
- Liner Notes
The Allison:Six is the smallest, and lowest priced addition to the Allison Acoustics speaker line. The half-cubic-foot Allison:Six is just large enough to enclose its 8-inch woofer, which faces upward and radiates frequencies up to 2,000 Hz. The dome tweeter, which faces forward, is identical to those used on all other Allison speakers, with a proprietary dome design that gives it exceptional dispersion. Like the other Allison models, the Six is meant to be installed against a wall, in which position the woofer .output is most uniform because there are no cancellations of its output from wall reflections within its frequency range.
