Is this statement pertaining to all or just BBC influenced speakers?

We had agreement to borrow anything new from a couple of existing AR dealers, or we would go and do it in the shop. I don't know of any early to mid 70's widely marketed speakers we didn't get to listen to.

Your experience is obviously different to mine. I thought speakers like the JBL L100, L200 and especially the L300 were anything but "bland, undynamic and one trick ponies".
