As I was reading the thread on Bose 901 speakers I was reminded of an
ELECTRO VOICE system of the mid-late sixties. It was a single cabinet
unit
about 8' long by about 3' high and had a convex curved front panel with
ports (slots?) at each end near the mid and high drivers. The curved
panel
looked about 5½ feet wide. The model name was 'Patrician' possibly with
a
suffix number. It had a 30" woofer. I used to have an old Audio magazine
from the era, and there was a write-up on it, along with a photo. I've
worn Google out looking
for info, but no joy on this particular 'Patrician'. Please... somebody
tell me I haven't lost my marbles and at least say "yeah, I seem to
recall
something like that". Mebbe I'll sleep better hearing at least that
much!
Would you believe JBL Paragon? :-)

That's a completely different beast. Even more sought after these days.
JBL also had the "venetian blind" acoustic-lens, but I don't
remember that it was used on the Paragon system.
No lens was used on the Paragon, the curved front encosure panel acted as
the diffuser.
