RE: RCA LC-1B - What possibly could go wrong?

Well
I could agree on all points regarding my abilities since nobody's perfect.
I can also suspect the same faults regarding your abilities.
Regarding my friends RCA drivers , one is in original condition , the other had refurbished tweeter. They were driven by -Eliano designed 300B PP with partial silver secondaries , Sophia Electric 300B with their better transformers , Art Audio PX25 and Art Audio Diavolo . Preamp was Emotive Poet or Sira and Metrum Dac. RCA's were in ~4-6 cu ft boxes. He also put them for fun in Altec A7 cab. They were in the company of PHY 12" , Lowther DX4 in Azura horns , and new Lowther PMA5 with silver vc.
Those RCA's are so bad that they must appeal to folks who enjoy small WE 755a in OB in cathedral sized room.
Seriously , Magnavox better set with 15" big alnico magnet and funny horn in OB is light years ahead as bad as it objectively is.
My friend was laughing at fools who buy those drivers for big money and than spread the mantra trough the net in order to preserve the value of this junk encouraging one another.
Now, If I hear a pair in a system, which will make me change my opinion
I will happily post here that I'm a deaf fool and was sorrily mistaken and will send six pack of best Polish beer to every offended RCA owner on this forum.
PS,. I'd keep quiet about it , but the forum is boring these days. And even Lynn Olson wrote after last RMAF that after all "hoopla" surrounding those drivers he could not believe how bad they sounded even though all grandpas (I.e the age group most active in the hobby) visiting that room were gobsmacked seeing the artifact from their long forgotten prime time.
Best Regards , W
