It is true that AR, KLH, and other New England companies emphasized the
fact that sound reproduction should be accurate, not "pleasant", and this
undoubtedly had an effect on the development of American audio equipment.
Although in the end, American speakers have a reputation around the world
for having bloated and exaggerated bass...
And German speakers have (or used to have) a bright top end.
The designer at KLH Audio (sadly, out of business) told me that, although his
designs were intentionally flat (they were), the woofer had a higher Q than it
"should", to please rock listeners.
