historically - I think A7 is "clone" of that one

but , I can be wrong ( as usual )

According to their web-site that is either a clone or a rebuild of a Western Electric M3 sound system used in movie theaters back in the mid 1930's -

Brian should be able to remember those days and tell you a bit more perhaps....

Here is a photo of one of their speakers as posted on their web-site.

BTW - their product history sez that they have been making stuff since 2001.

I'm pretty sure that Brian can see a little bit of his friend's work in this design....

I was looking for speaker color ideas

I generally look into architectual and design based magazines when trying to decide on "look" of something. Little favor to my wife and her patience of my addiction.
