RE: Kudos to Art Dudley

Posted by Steve O on September 22, 2016 at 17:53:04:
I suspect Art is referring to Western Electric direct radiator/ horn designs of the 40s/50s or possibly the larger theater horns of the 30s using the 555 field coil driver. Might also include some Jensen stuff of the same era. I believe he's currently listening to Auditorium 23- Cinema Homage speakers that are based on Chinese reproductions of the 555 and other WE drivers. Review of whatever it is in next issue of Stereophile.
Forgot to mention non-mass market RCA items of the era, usually prefixed with "MI" in the model #.
