Re: Contender for the world's best loudspeaker...

"Ever heard of Meyer Sound?"

Isn't he the guy who designed McCune Sound's touring speakers back in the day? And the low frequency speakers for "Apocalypse Now"? And the "System 80" speakers for the Grateful Dead's Radio City performances?

And pioneered the use of active electronics to significantly reduce distortion in speakers? And built the first low-distortion time-aligned studio monitors? And the first compact high-output high-fidelity stage monitors? And the HD-1 High Definition near-field monitor. And..., and... And now makes what are possibly the loudest, most efficient, and cleanest powered speakers available anywhere?

Nope, never heard of him. ;) See www.meyersound.com.

Actually, I was fortunate to learn from John when he was doing research in Switzerland. Taught me almost everything I know about loudspeaker design. BTW, his photo used in his advertising... he looks exactly the same as in '74!!
