He offered the idea to the biggest names in American audio. All of them turned him down. So he built it himself, in a loft in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with one of his own students as a business partner. Within twelve years the company held a share of the American market that nobody has matched before or since. Then it went to court to defend the invention that made all of it possible — and lost. What happened after that is a story of conglomerates, of a founder who walked away and quietly changed a second industry, and of a trademark that today sits inside a company that makes car mirrors. If there is a sealed-box speaker or a dome tweeter anywhere in your system, this history is part of it.
