I noticed the Athena As-B1 looks suspiciously
similar to the Celestion F15.

Are they the same company/speaker?

Or am I just seeing things???

Nope, they just use the same style goofy oval tweeter...Athena's parent holding company also owns Energy and Mirage...my understanding of the company structure is that the 3 companies have very little contact with each other...though that my might have changed with Energy recent move towards manufacturing most of their products in China.
