    Bart Locanthi

    I would really like to see a page dedicated to Bart Locanthi on this site.
    He's been a seminal influence from JBL (acoustic lenses, LE drivers) to HiFi in general (loudspeaker modelling, and improved amplifier output design).
    Something like the Ed May page would be great, even if it's a little abbreviated at first it might spark more interest and draw more info and anecdotes to round out the somewhat fragmented picture of this very influential force in Audio history.

    Here's the website his son has up in his memory:

    G,



    Bart's work is still available only at TAD/Pioneer. There, he had a sympathetic audience and a cooperative management got some of his best designs to market.



    Regards,
