Well, knowing some of Gene Cerwinski's antics in the '70s, I'd say
yes, he WAS trying to give customers more than a piece of junk. They
got a piece of junk and a ****LOAD of hype!

I remember being given a pair of C-V cabinets for showing some films a
couple years ago. Off-axis they were boomy but okay... on-axis they were
very clangy and ringy. We wound up putting a 1" line of gaffer tape across
the center of the horn and they sounded a good bit cleaner after that. How
anyone can sell junk like this is beyond me, because it wouldn't really take
much engineering to improve them considerably.
