aka JWC from the early days of The Absolute Sound used Dayton-Wrights. I once assisted in the replacement of a panel which necessitated breaching the outer diaphragm for access. Once the panel was replaced and the outer diaphragm patched, he had to re-pressurize the cabinet.
SF6, like helium, is inert but heavier than air. Put some in a cup and it stays there. You can feel it by putting a finger in the cup. As a baritone for the Atlanta Symphony Chorus, he has a deep and powerful voice. He inhaled a big breath of it and started singing. It was like hearing Lurch at the Met! Very funny.
However cranky they were, it was the Dayton-Wrights that converted me to a stat enthusiast long ago.
