MTX made the AAL series speakers. They are NOT white van speakers. I have a pair of AAL 2230B. Horn tweeter, (2) 12" woofers and midrange. Will handle more power and sound just as nice as these "so called" audiophile quality speakers. I used to have the AAL 2230 you could buy them with wood grain or black. These speakers will handle just about everything my Yamaha M-65 can throw at them. Here they are next to the Cerwin's. They were sold at Best Buy, etc....for around $350 - $400. The MTX model you reference have the 15" instead of twin 12" woofers.......Your model number might be AAL 1540. Now you know....
