I have no idea Dave in all honesty One thing that may lend some kind of credence to that is a certain quote:- "the closest approach to the original sound"... Effectively they were if you like attepmting to get them to sound the same or to add the least distortion

I think Robs post above is a rather good one indeed & he is quite correct. A good many speakers were full range drivers & 15/16 ohms DC resistance.

You are quite right about the caps as i mentioned on a thread with some Croft equipment pics only yesterday. Technology moves on & big value capacitors are much smaller in overall volume than they used to be back in the day!
