A few possible corrections.The benchmark Quad was the original not the 63, first introduced to the world in 1955 and widely available around 1957. It would play significantly louder than 90dB, (closer to 100dB) was reliable if used correctly(rarely the case here in States) and had substantial bass if used correctly(again rarely in the States). It is still the benchmark for midrange IMHO. Many stat mfgs. still use this as their reference. It showed the world that a reliable full-range electrostat was possible. The designer was Peter Walker.
I believe Bob Fulton was one of the first individuals showing us that wire was terribly sonic Fulton Gold was one of the first audiophile wires, way before Monster Cable. Mark Levinson was also telling us about the sonics of wire prior to Monster Cable. Monster Cable was probably the first widely available commerical audiophile wire.
I believe Denon was the first commerically available moving coil. A little shaky on this point as well. Was it the 103 series? Early 60's as I recall.
The Linn LP12 was the first benchmark turntable showing the world that yes turntables are sonic.
