Another memory check:
Do you recall, from the early 60's, a project in one of the electronic hobbyist magazines called "The Sweet Sixteen"?
Sixteen run-of-the-mill small diameter speakers were mounted in a single large enclosure. The thought was that together they could move a lot of air with little distortion because the cone movement of each speaker was reduced. My neighbor at the time built one and I remember that it sounded really good.

How they would stack-up next to an equivalently priced speaker today would be an interesting thing to hear.
I recall that the EV factory tour-guide (1967) said that the retail price was actually inflated over what they could have sold it for at a reasonable profit because price was associated in the audiophile's mind to quality (still is). I think they retailed for around $700. each back then.
Looking at the various opinions of their sound quality, on-line, it appears that the series got mixed reviews. Interesting how one's memories compare to others.
