In looking at a picture of a Metragon, I was taken by how similar certain of its design features resemble those of my Altec Lagunas. The laguna came on the market, I believe, in 1957. It is mentioned in a 1958 Hi Fi magazine for sure, but I believe I read somewhere that 1957 was the first year. The Metragon, I am thinking, came out in 1959. I may be wrong. Anyway, the Laguna was designed by Glenn of California. One of my Lagunas has a GLENN stamp on the back. Could the Metragon and the Laguna have been designed by the same house? Or did someone influence someone? (note I didn't say copy).
