Oddly one of our Dj's was called Junior Rosco !
We used to make up stories about how he had just flown in from LA for the gig.
I was feeling old until i read the date on that!!!
I have a new athritic spring in my step.
Having said all that
I am developing some w cabs / folded Horn, for a home hifi based on the Tannoy Westminsters.
PIPE dream at the moment..

I have a set of drivers pulled from a Magnavox console, including the 15" bass, horn mid and dome tweeters.
Hopefully when I retire I'll build a set of corner horns our of them. They should work well with a low power tube amp.
I pretty much lost track of speakers by the mid 80s, raising a family. The last pair I bought were a used set of Heresy speakers around 87.

Eggleston Andra was impressing. I still like large pro monitors from this era, Kinoshita, Westlake, JBL, UREI, ATC, Boxer (Neil Grant), etc.
Rewarding project! I have collected Jensen 15"+ mid horn + high horn for DIY Jensen Imperial (one like Nelson Pass's box - he has Tannoys in it.). 🙂
I had a pair of Tannoy's Mercury M2 loudspeakers in the late 90s. I was 13/14 years old and these were my first pair of actually decent loudspeakers!
They sounded great.

The tendency in 90'Th continued, "Impressive numbers". Number of watts was still the main one. The more speakers converted into heat, the better it supposed to be for consumers. Of course, compromised amps had to be used to drive them, because SE class A amps would themselves generate too much heat to supply speakers by power to turn into heat. 😀
Even today still people get impressed by bookshelf speakers on tall stands that occupy space like normal efficient speakers would do.
