Sinatra Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 I have always woundered who had the first idea/patent for a home speaker. I know that klipsch made its frist home speaker in 1946...but was that the first? I would love to know what company came out with the idea that started what we are all obsessed about today lol. -Sinatra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 --I read in Dave Funks Tube Amp Workbook that a fellow named Ernst Werner who was working for Seimans invented the moving coil speaker in 1877. There was a problem with it though, no amp to power it with.In 1906 Lee DeCamp invented the triode tube making amplification possible. He later went on to work with RCA.On and on, then came along Leo Fender and it all started sounding right.-- Taken from a search on askjeaves.com ------------------ Tom's Money Pit This message has been edited by tblasing on 03-08-2002 at 11:13 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
