Jeez... What would you be using them for?

Good speakers and way before their time. Literally home made by Steen. He used to bring over his Bacofoil ribbon protypes to try in our demo room. Then later, we had the finished article with bass units added.
They were pretty good and we sold a couple of pairs. Trouble is, if they go wrong, who will put them right ?

I used to have a pair of these MAF stand, they were good.

Motional feedback (MFB) went one step further: they had an accelerometer on the bass unit, feeding back into the active amp circuit. Clever, and it worked. Bass was very accurate for a smallish speaker.
