Default Speaker unit to baffle.

I'm still waiting for you to tell me about a better (or as good)
contemporary product. Because if there was one, the BBC would not have
gone to the bother of making it.


Erm. The BBC did not make it. They provided a spec and a prototype.
The speakers were built by three different commercial loudspeaker
makers.

EMI were also designing a speaker for similar use, around the
same time. It never went into production proper.
Some years later several pairs, teak cabinets with the
green enamel EMI badge were offered for sale in a second
hand audio components shop in Lisle Street.

I wish I had bought a pair. Just like the BTR4 - rare as hens' teeth:-)
