Then playing a recording of a steam locomotive at full volume?

They blew all four of them



Everyone agreed it sounded fantastic until the end...

Wonder if this was the album they used by audio fidelity?The company put out a few locomotive test records.I have a collection of some of their test records.Heres some info on the company.

I wonder?

He says the event was setup by a recording engineer at Toshiba EMI, and it was a recent recording. My guess is 1975-1978 timeframe for the event. So a 1974+ recording?

It was in their QS showroom which explains the four JBL 4350's. It was billed as "Ears vs. Speakers: A Challenge to 140dB Sound."



And it might have been played back on reel to reel. I can't imagine using a turntable at 140dB but who knows
