I question the Sound Labs. Acoustats went loud, so could the Audiostatics. Don't forget the Dayton Wright XG8s.I won't, especially when driven by really big amps. Acoustats can play loud, given enough power. Audiostatics are clearly better to my ears - I've owned both - yet they can only be played so loud without damaging them. I've been using Sound Labs for a while and don't see that changing.
In the back of my mind I'm thinking the JC80 was a tube unit. I have the old TASs, if I get a chance I'll check.
The JC-80 is solid state. Perhaps you're thinking of the Jadis JP-80?
Bob Fulton started the wire revolution, Noel Lee and Monster Cable came a few years later, Brisson was later still.
You're right about Fulton, I have a couple lengths of Gold. Don't forget about Discwasher Smog Lifter speaker cables, which preceded most of the stuff out there.
A couple others:
Magneplanar Tympani IIIA - triamped with ARC gear including D76's.
Shreve Rabco linear tracking tonearm, mounted on a Technics SP-10 turntable.
