These are the "refrigerators" I want to build for myself someday.
Sometimes bigger is better. Out of curiosity about a stereo owned by a childhood friend of my parents, (Mackintosh receiver,Dual 1219 turntable, and Jensen /Onken style speakers, I cobbled together an onken style pair of speakers, with Trace Elliot ( by Celestion) 15 inch woofers, old 15" midrange horns from Sansui SP 5500's, and 511B Horns loaded with modern Fane tweeters.
They are huge (60"×23"×17.5") in an average sized living room, coloured, and so effortlessly able to do dynamic swings it doesn't matter.
There's some magic in using horn directivity, along with the beaming of a 15" midwoofer to take sidewall reflections out a little.
Now I remember why I was envious of the Campbell's stereo over our JVC system.
If you want to build those 'fridge's, you should.
Thanks. I will. But it will have to wait until I build the shop/design studio out back that I want so I'll have room for them.

That would be a nice addition to our portfolio as sales of Brown 25 have been slipping considerably over the past few decades.

Nice clip -- not seen that before!
It's from a comedy film back in the '70s called The Groove Tube.
Here's another classic scene.

Another film in a similar vein is Kentucky Fried Movie. Plenty of clips from these films on YouTube.

But on the commercial products site:
So it really is only effective in humid climates and if you let you house remain humid (no A/C).
I'm also relieved by what its not, phew. Actually if it were radioactive, maybe it would do something!
Ahhhh, the 'coal scuttle'......
Your nine year old grandson wasn't even a gleam in his father's eye when that movie was made.
