I think the "rules" of where to put drivers, and how many to put there, broken by the above-pictured RtR monstrosities were already pretty well established in the ERPI (Western Electric), RCA, etc. era.Great ad, but they broke all the modern rules of good design (tweeters everywhere) and many folks still love them.

Lafayette Radio Electronics (among many others) also sold loudspeakers in the '60s and early '70s with similar arrays of arbitrary drivers seemingly vomited onto the baffle board.
