In Reply to: RE: What type of speakers did audiophiles use in the 60s ? posted by J. Phelan on June 15, 2017 at 10:27:42
Hi J,
When I read your question and it said it's founding was in 74 and they were looking for the addition of the UK sound maybe they were talking about the English monitors LS3/5a which Rogers and Chartwell and other English companies had to pay for the rights to build. Your question was about the 60's and the info you gave said the start of this company to design a speaker was 1974.
Thats what they may be talking about when they mention the English sound at 1974. I was a senior in high school and just getting in the mad hobby......Mark Korda....just a guess....take care.
Follow Ups:
They were indicating that U.S. audiophile speakers were (mostly) horns in the 60s. I thought ESLs were the most common type, but doing some research, they could be right. ESLs were still coming in during the 70s -and even 80s with Sound Lab and Martin-Logan.
