Sounds like you are on the right track! Welcome to the vivid sound of field coils. Just wait until you hear some f.c. compression drivers. This is a technology that, in my opinion, should have never gone away.One of the best speakers I've ever heard is a circa 1936 Lansing Monitor 500B. This two way horn system uses a 284 driver (daddy to all the later Altec large format drivers) on a tar filled 500Hz., eight cell horn. Below is a 15" woofer in a small W bin. The sound from this simple, early system is so natural, relaxed and complete, it takes my breath away.
