Mention of Dr Patronis brings back some good memories. He was my electronics professor at Georgia Tech and easily my favorite prof. The guy was a walking encyclopedia concerning electronics and audio. I worked on a special project with him (and several other students) to construct amplifiers and speakers for cinema use in the Ga Tech Coliseum about 1970/71. Those were the most fun credits I ever earned in college!
The speakers produced by that project did not resemble the ones in the auction, however. The bass cabs had four big speakers in a vertical array, 18's I think, but could have been 15's. Two multicell arrays on top of that for mid and treble.

I appreciate you telling me about it, Tom. I'm only 2 hours away, but still it looks a little pricey for an old non-pro tinkerer like me!

It would have been amazing to go to Georia Tech and take classes from Leach and Patronis.
I had chance to talk with Leach a couple of times, but not Patronis.
I did not know Leach. He was there the same time as I was, getting his PhD, but he was in EE and I was Physics, like Patronis, so we didn't really cross paths. I spoke with Leach on the phone several times after he published some construction projects in the mid 70's. He was always very open to that kind of conversation.
Patronis was amazing though. I loaded up on all the classes I could get from him. What a mind. He would say something complex in class and then just chew on his cigar a bit and wait for the light bulbs to come on across the class. They always did. He knew how to present complex material in an understandable way, but he made you dig some as well.
