Is this off the top of one's head or can we cheat by searching the internet?? LOL :-)Off the top of my head:
"What speaker featured both a 6th order Thiel Small bass alignment and a vented midrange driver?" There has been more than a few of these. Any one in particular your after?
"What speaker company had "Sound as clear as light" ?" RTR?
"What does VMPS stand for ?" Veritone Minimum Phase Speakers
" What speaker company has "Dimensional Purity" ?
"What speaker line was used by Telarc as a Monitor.
And What particular one from that line was used ?" ?"Who was Jon Bau, and where did he attend school, and who was his equally famous classmate ?" Jon designed Spica speakers, don't know the school and I think his classmate was John Curl.
"Who is Bill Watkins, and what is he known for." Bill is known for his dual voice coil Watkins woofers in the Infinity speaker line.
"Who did Albert Von Schweikert work for in the early days ?" ?
"Who was Jon Dahlquist's best friend in Audio ?" Saul Marantz?
"Who is Bud Fried, and what is he known for." Bud Fried was best known for TL loading of woofers and is thought to be the leading designer behind the IMF brand but was really the North American distributer who put his name on the initial IMF product and it stuck.
When his relationship with IMF parted, he started the FRIED Speaker Products Co. Read the whole story here: http://imf-electronics.com/history/index.html"Who was Stuart Hegeman ?" ?
"What tweeter did Roy Allison Patent, and what are it's advantages ?"
It was a convex shaped tweeter which radiates energy uniformly. Can't remember the name of it though."What is an "air spring tweeter" ?" A tweeter with a volume of trapped air behind it. Much like an acoustic suspension woofer.
"Who designed the Rectilinear 3A ?" ?
"Who first used Laser Interferometry for speakers ?" Bowers and Wilkins
Those R some tough questions there. Let's see how I do......
