Absolutely right!
There were so many things that were the build / listen /modify loop with very few acoustic measurements.
It was the TEF machine that allowed one to measure the loudspeaker's phase and that didn't happen until the late 70's and become practical in the 80's.
I heard an old WE driver from a theater speaker and it sounded great. looking at the insides, except for materials, it was a modern compression driver = there was very little that could be improved in the acoustic part in many decades since. That was something to think about, the process that lead to that driver design.
