The direction of lansing was the main factor of speakers not W.E. Just look at the phase plug on the W.E HF drivers and look at the phase plug on the lansing Hf drivers this is were it all went down hill. Your mid and Hf drivers from lansing took the market, there were patent issues the outcome was jbl and altec that stole the market in the motion picture industry, witch all of this stuff was disigned for in the first place and don't forget the early motion pictures were talkies it was crued. You look at the design of the W.E front mounted phase plug and that was the better of the 2 and every 1 else went the other direction with the rear mounted phase plug witch has more compresion, in turn more distortion, they try to force more sound threw a smaller opening and or opening style witch is also more patent problems. I still believe that you can make a better driver, i believe that materals are better with better magnets, it is all about the package, everyone is doing the same thing the last guy did and we have not moved forward for more then 60 years, maybe if someone would burn the old books they would move to something new. There are to many plumbers in the audio field trying to sell crap. Preaching Horn Religion MSAUDIO
