Anyone remember Exclusive in the 70's

Gee, you think this was a take off on a JBL design?

"Exclusive" was the original high-end Pioneer brand using drivers designed by Bart Locanthi. It would later be renamed TAD. Hence, the JBL similarity is understandable. The following is even more derivative, being a pretty blatent copy of the JBL L300 using the same proportions and slanted front baffle for a three-way 15" bass reflex system.




Both pictures are from this site:

It summarizes all of the high end domestic audio equipment from Japan. The following is the same link through Babbelfish that provides a very rough English translation.
