It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
I do, I think he used 4-way coaxial drivers intended for cars. Can't recall the make of them. The design was based on the Capel transmission line. You used to be able to buy the instructions to build it in those little books they would sell in electronics shops. Except Capel's design used a single driver, an EMI elliptical unit from memory.

Is this the thing you're thinking of, chaps?

“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

Always wondered if anyone has actually heard a pair? The adverts are weird, seeming to promise very deep bass, and then in the next paragraph saying that the vass is not too audible and needs to be boosted.
To be fair bass is not touted as the raison d'etre of the speaker.
