Audio porn in the early days. Currently in my 'dining room storage' are a pair of B&W DM-2 Mk2 and a pair of DM-4, the latter with Coles supertweeters. Thinks sure have changed since the seventies.

I saw the Patrician mentioned.
PWK said that a Patrician was a person who got out of the shower to pee!

What about the Barker Duode. A full range 12 inch ( 30 Hz to over 15 Khz), from the late forties. USA will have never heard of it, but it used a light weight cambric cone, and an patented aluminium tube voice coil former which was coated with latex, over which the voice coil was wound. The latex isolated the voice coil at high frequencies so only the tube was driven, so extended the HF range, at the cost of increased damping at low frequencies. Large cabinets were required.
The importance was that this system was picked up by Hartley, and used in combination with a compliance part way up the cone, and sold extensively in the states in the '50s.

How bout the Paragon. A huge system that included both sides with a parabolic curved wood panel between them to disspers the sound. Made by JBL.

Also Jensen made a corner unit with a 30" woofer! Forgot what they called it. Patrician?

Anyone remember the "Sweet 16"?
