Thanks for making me feel better. I do believe that the woofer is the one that you speak of. It's been years sense I laid eyes on em. I remember the crossover also had a large parts count where the EPI is just really a 10uf cap on the tweeter. The 201's seem to do okay with a bit of tube power also.

Back in the early 70s thru the mid to late 80s,big SS power amps and receivers that were 200w plus per channel were quite popular among audiophiles.Very few dynamic cone drivers at that time could handle that kind of power. One of the few cone drivers I knew of that could handle it was Cerwin Vega.Now electrostatic and Magenpan speakers could also handle that kind of power,not the ESL-57s but the later ESLs could.
I have always believed that's why they made those networks do complicated because they would eat up a lot of transient peak power and with so many caps in there they would help block the DC rail from hitting the drivers and this turned out to be true.. Notice that once the drivers started to handle more power,networks became much more simple in many speakers.

Interesting. In the end even with the massive amp power increase the SPL output would have been similar with newer speakers.
