Now Gentlemen, gather round for the history of Isophon. Once upon a
time they made lots of speakers that were widely used, in fact they are
one of the oldest manufacturers of speakers in the world. But, alas,
their fortunes waned and naughty Blaupunkt came along one day and stole
them all away, leaving only the name. This was found in a waste paper
basket on a German bahnhof by a clever chappie called Doctor Roland
Gauder. "What can I do with such a name?" mused the good doctor.....
"Liebchen - make yourself famous by designing some excellent
lautsprechers" cajoled his frau. "Ach, but you are right, mein kleine
apfel strudel" retorted the good doctor. And so he did. And lo they
were good, and many people revered his name. Aber what confusion if we
mix up the old Isophon speaker units with the doctor's new creations!!!
Ach no, mein good man, das ist umoeglich!!!



Andy, I just naturally assumed he was talking about the *real* Isophons!
