Forgot to comment on the Field Coil Factor. I agree with Joe that field coil operation doesn't make it great, though it does help, if all other things can (ever?) be made equal. The original Lansing Iconic is a stunningly natural sounding speaker, extremely vivid and lively. Jim Lansing wrote an article "The Duplex Speaker" in 1944, and spoke of the progressive downsizing from Shearer Horn, huge theatre system with 375 Hz. crossover to Lansing Monitor (500 Hz.) to Iconic (800 Hz.) to Duplex (1200 Hz.). In my experience this took it one step too far, though necessary for monitoring in small rooms. The Iconic TROUNCES any 604 I have heard in pure performance, though of course it is considered a large speaker by modern standards. I have also compared the Iconic to a late 1940s Jim Lansing two way permanent magnet system... no contest.
