Dear Wordsmith,several years ago while at college living in Plymouth UK i went into an interesting junk/2nd hand hifi shop and came across a very strange pair of loudspeakers.
They were similar in size to QUAD ESL 57 and shape similar except for curvature of front baffle.
On the back of the cabs was a badge saying made under licence by THE RADIO PEOPLE LTD HONG KONG.Now Albert Chan who owned this company was a friend of mine when i lived in HK in 1961-1980.
I asked the junk shop owner what they were ,he said £25.00.
So i bought them.
got them back to student digs and took off the back panel.
4 off 9x6" eliptical bass drivers and 3 off ORTHOPHASE ribbon drivers.
I fixed the wiring and checked all drive units.
then fired them up.
W O W what can i say they were fantastic better than my QUAD's that i had had a few years before. I still have them to this day and love them.
The company who made them was:
GeGo Orthophase of Paris France and they were circa 1959-1961 vintage.yep a real bargain .
