SteveAdd my "wow" to the 64 Monitor, and I have'nt even heard it! Some of the patents from the late 30's I ran across had Massa's name on them. The double loader design of 1936 pictured in Acoustical Engineering has both Olson and Massa's name, but the 1937 patent application lists just Olson. Bruce Edgar told us at a CHC meet once, that Massa resembled Larry Fine of the Three Stooges, and was prone to play practical jokes on the rather stiff Olson. The RCA R&D lab must have been a great place to work in the 30's. BTW, I have some vague memories of some German field coil designs from the late 30's with dual, or maybe even tripple, voice coils (Telefunken?). Thorsten Loesch posted some pics on one of these forums several years back, with similar comments that a pinacle of driver design had been reached, and then forgotten. I hope you guys do get to incorporate the dual VC in your FC designs.
