I remember the Dayton-Wrights well having heard Dr. John W. Cooledge's pair back in '76. While his MK Is were a tad shy on the top, I was taken by their incredible coherency and low level resolution capabilities. Thirty years later, I'm still a 'stat freak.Indeed the later MK II / MK III's were a mixed bag (no pun intended - remember the outer diaphragm used to contain the SF2 gas?). More efficient, somewhat more reliable, but had that damn tweeter. I worked for a dealer who picked up the line at the time of the MK IIIs. He drove them first with a Dunlap-Clarke amp (Dan D'Agostino was the rep for both D-W and D-C at the time) and later with Nelson Pass' first effort, the 800A and finally a Stasis 2. Some folks disconnected the piezo. The store used an identical driver for use as a - burglar alarm!
