At one point or another I think i’ve come across all of these things in various studios, offices, and edit rooms… as I type this, I am listening to Tangerine Dream’s 1975 live LP ‘RICOCHET’ on a pair of JBL 18Ti, which were their hi-end home bookshelf speaker of the same era… still sound great btw.
Below: the 4350B. And yeah it weighs 261 pounds.

Still got my mid 70’s L65’s. Love that west coast sound
Yes, this was West Coast sound. Speakers were the most regional type of product in the hi-fi business for decades, but that isn’t so much today true.
Oh yeah. Don’t forget the British ‘sound’ of the Celestion Ditton series hi-fi loudspeakers. My Ditton 66 are still rocking after all these years. Cheers.
