RE: Interesting question

I didn't know the VOTT's had domestic sizes. I knew J. Gordon Holt reviewed the A7 in 1968.
Late 60s/early 70s -(other) Altec's were out -Valencia, etc. The Klipsch La Scalla was reviewed in '71 in High Fidelity -a major magazine.
Horns could have been BIG with audiophiles in the 70s and 80s. But solid-state circuits, in my view, hurt their sound. So revealing a horn is. Then the ESL -by the 70s anyway, blew right past the horn in transparency.
