Maybe I should do some pages on 'old weird speakers' as people seem to
have forgotten a lot of these. Sometimes the wheels are re-invented,
sometimes forgotten.



Nothing weird with the old BC1's I've got still fine sounding and a
credit to the designer))


No doubt. :-) As I'm sure you're aware, I was really thinking of some of
the lesser-known items like the 'CQ', not the BC1's.

In fact, I suppose you could argue that the LS3/5A also exploits the
flexibility of the box panels rather than tries to make them perfectly
rigid. :-)

Been looking though old mags, etc. Haven't yet found the review I was
thinking of, but have unearther the CQ 'tetraq' add-on tweeter, which as
the name implies, is rather an unusual shape. Looks a bit like the old milk
cartons with just four sides. Two photos of it look like quite different
shapes as 2d views play tricks on your sense of perspective and depth! The
review said it was excellent, though... :-)

Slainte,

Jim
