Western Electric 728 B loud Speaker ... how to test ?

Those speakers are amazingly good, almost full range (bit light above 7-8kc). Balance is VERY CLOSE to live music that I hear several times a month at the Kennedy Center, a 10 minute walk from my house.

I come home and listen to the podcasts of concerts I heard 20 minute earlier and usually hear a very very close tonal balance. That's without any tweeter.

Nothing I can write here can explain it or convince a naysayer, so I won't try.

They were a lot more fun when I could find them for dirt cheap but I paid big money (thousands) for the ones I have now, and I'm pretty cheap, although perhaps not by AK standards.:p I also have a repaired pair for backup or another project. GordonW glued one up for me recently.

Yeah, there is BIG money chasing these to the point that most are out of the game, but this is not without reason. Hype is certainly a factor to some degree, but the performance level is very high.
