What is your opinion of Alon Speakers?

I was looking at speakers with external cross-overs because I was told by an audio friend of mine who is a freak about getting the cross-over out of the speakers to eliminate the vibration amoung other issues. The Alon Lotus also has an open baffle for the mid and hi frequencies which I have also read about recently.

Your commnets, comparisions are appreciated as well as alternatives.

Thanks
