Default 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. 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!
Many Thanx!

I recall that there was an Electrovoice Patrician with a 30 inch
woofer. It was a gigantic 5 or 6 ft high monster built for corner
placement.
