They also made speakers. They were rather unique, the enclosures were a cylinder shape with the woofer's facing down so you never saw them. They had metal dome midrange and tweeter that were exteriorly attached in their own enclosure to the main enclosure which included the woofer. They came in two sizes, one with a 16" woofer and another with a 12" woofer.
When I was younger and into DIY, I bought the raw 16" woofer which I used for a subwoofer. I got tremendous bass from it. Actually I still have it but use it as a sculpture pedistal now. Too much bass for my Quad ESL 57's. But they were very good speakers- too bad they longer are in business.
