| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? My tungars on my WE 13A dont hum again saying all tungars hum is simply not true. Also the classic audio reproduction is using 1930s tech its just using modern materials. A speaker like your CAR is a very good example of 1930s tech modernized. My... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? atmasphere EVs, Klipsch, Altec and JBL all are not 1930s. The Altec A7 you use as a example of poor bass its again not a 1930s design but is a affordable down sized design so expecting that to have deep bass and to be a example of design faults fr... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? Vintage designs have proven there reliability modern has not.

| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? Atmasphere cant do bass right! Maybe wee ones dont but full sized sure do.

| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? Electrostatics and planars are all 1930s inventions. And for others small to me that sounds worse than many 1930s designs isn't a advancement in sound quality but a advancement in convenience and cost cutting etc. Think a few have missed my poin... | |

| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? 1930s the largest corps in the world spent significant resources on loudspeaker development. Today very small corps invest small sums reinventing much of what was designed then. | |
