A German physicist who had already outrun Bell Labs by more than a decade turned his attention to loudspeakers in his sixties — and decided the entire industry had been doing it wrong. The company that licensed his idea became one of the most distinctive names in American hi-fi, built the strangest speaker of its era, then went quiet for most of two decades. Today his invention sits in studios, living rooms and even in-ear monitors around the world — usually with someone else's name on the badge. This is the full story: the science, the pyramid, the collapse, and the return.
