B&W exposed tweeter on top design....


Just curious...anyone know when B&W started this design?...did they invent it as well...they are often associatted with it...

to my ears...B&W really doesnt become "B&W" until one hits the tweeter on top range...unfortunately this has not trickled down...the new 705 retails for $1500...and prior to this model...the most affordable option was found in the top of the line model for the cdm series...for around $1200(maybe less)...at any rate...just my .02,,..
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the first B&W model to sport the outboard tweeter was the Silver Signature, of the early nineties vintage.
