This is a look at 100 yrs of the Danes influence on speaker development. Probably more than you will ever want to know but I found it interesting how they were so important to the hobby we all love.
All those great minds, and it takes a blacksmith to actually apply the tech to a useful product...

    They aren't kidding when they say "a history". 120 pages! Might take a little while to get through unless you're an Evelyn Wood graduate. Even many intellectuals are NOT the fastest readers. See jokes made about Darwin and Marx! Charles took "forever" to get through a TEXT and Karl was slow and meticulous.

    Then there were guys who could write almost faster than you can read, like Asimov and Mr. Dianetics! lol

    Not just the Danes; Scandinavia in general has more than its share of loudspeaker history -- and, heck, Peter Jensen (of Magnavox fame, first and foremost) was, of course -- a Dane. A great Dane ;- )

    ... and of course, Peerless is/was a Danish company :- )
