Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

The Duplex drivers came on the market in the 1940s

In those days, speakers and enclosures were sold separately - such was the case (by and large) until the late 1950s/early 1960s.

I don't know when the Tannoy coaxes entered the market.

Lots of early (by which I mean post WWII era) home hifi used horns for sensitivity (given low amplifier power, at least at reasonable prices).

Peruse any and all of the following to see what was popular in hifi in the 1950s.
