A Tip Of The Cap to the man who brought us music.
#1 on Hi Fi News' "50 Most Important Audio Pioneers" list, inventor of the acoustic suspension woofer, he brought music into the home by making quality loudspeakers that fit comfortably in a household. Before his invention, producing high quality bass tones required a speaker the size of a refrigerator.
He developed one of the first dome tweeters, and discovered that sealed speaker cabinets greatly enhanced the low frequency performance. In partnership with his student Henry Kloss he founded Acoustic Research when manufacturers turned down his ideas. In the next few years, nearly all speaker manufacturers switched to his design and payed patent royalties for their lack of vision.
