Can anyone tell me where the progress in audio went?

Who is to say what is objective and what is not?  

Not field coil speaker rated, but one of the best videos/sound I've heard on YT (in regard to a vintage horn speaker) may have been done by "johnk" who has posted in this thread.

I think it was an RCA design (not Western Electric) and I'm not certain if it was a rebuild or a reproduction.

Been searching for the video for a few years without any luck.

The speaker/horn looked like an early WE design, but again I think/recall that it was of RCA manufacture.

Audioamp:

I know nothing of the design of the speaker/video I posted, but I do see gaps on the back sides of the horn.

They do not look even/symmetrical to me, but this may be due to the camera angle(s).

I believe you're thinking about RCA  LC-9A

Audioamp states:

"I find it funny that people who claim the superiority of vinyl keep trying to get their rigs to sound more and more like digital :-)"

Really...Who does this? (Names please)

Next question:

Why the distain for audiophiles & vinyl?

Last question (for now):

How many names have you used on this site prior to this one?

Please Advise

tannoy:

Not that one...

The bottom portion looked like a basin that would have been used for washing metal parts in a machinist’s shop 80 years ago.

It was tall and maybe 36" (or less) wide.

Appeared to be metal.

I’ll see if I can come up with a pic of the WE look-a-like later, unless johnk did do the build and can offer info in the meantime.
