Paper cone woofers died in 1962 .... a look back


Stereophile re-published an article from 1962 by Irving Fried predicting the death of the paper cone driver was soon upon us.

Though much did not come to pass, it is an interesting read, which includes discussions of the near predecessor to Focal’s W sandwich cones.



Enjoy!

"We of course being a KEF and KEF-Kits dealer..."
Do KEF kits still exist? They used to be an interesting concept. A friend of mine built a pair and they sounded really good. For that time and to me, at least. Model 102? 103? 104? or am I mixing something up?
