    Back in the 70's I drove down to the IMF factory in High Wycombe with a pair of ALS40s. The midrange unit on one of them had failed and they were going to replace both of them with mark two drivers.

    I didn't have the original boxes, so the speakers were lying on their backs(recessed terminals) in a hatch back with the cones facing up . I got a gentle telling off when I arrived. They reckoned that was the worst orientation for transport.

    Strange, that is how I might transport speakers. In fact I have done many times, no problem.

    Now, transporting two Quad ESL57's in an original type Mini to Quad, now that is not easy for other reasons! But I did it.

    No, though they reckoned they should be upright.

    A bit tricky with floorstanders! And I wonder how they were shipped to and from the factory.
