In the 1970's, Altec Segovias. They were so bright that they had ten decibel attenuators for the tweeter. They were still bright with the attenuators turned up to ten. I went into a stereo shop in Brooklyn to buy a pair of AR 3A's. The dealer pulled a bait and switch on me - claiming the AR's were out of stock.
I had borrowed a friend's car and didn't want to impose on him again, so I ended up with the Altecs. My next speakers were B&W 802's. They were so heavy that the UPS guy refused to bring them up to my condo unit. He literally left them in the parking lot. But they were excellent speakers ... until I discovered Magnepans.
