Bose Patrician

As I was reading the thread on Bose 901 speakers I was
reminded of a Bose 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.
As others have observed, it was the EV Patrician, of which there were a
chronological sequence of upgraded models.
It had a 30" woofer.
Impressive in the day, by modern standards it is a peanut-whistle. Couldn't
take much power, and had virtually no linear stroke at all.
EV still makes great speakers, only they are for professional use, mostly
for live sound. Some of their live sound offerings can sound great in a
listening room if you set them up right.
