  1. I purchased new in 1970, a pair of Rectilinear 3 Highboys, then bought a used pair of Rec-3 Lowboys, then another pair of Rec-3 Highboys followed by a new pair of Rectilinear 7's, then later on, a new pair of Klipsch-Belle's. All the Recs' 3's were equipped with the AD5061/M8 mids. Coupled with 12" Jensen Flexair woofers and simple paper cone alnico tweeters, they sounded very lifelike! The killers were the Philips midrange drivers used in all. They made vocals sound as 'REAL' as can be...as though the voices were actually in the room in front of you, not just a speaker trying to reproduce vocals in front of you. The Rec-7's also had a 7" Philips paper cone mid that was crap. A car type speakers as far as I'm concerned. (I sold them in disgust). The Belle's, played twice as loud as the Rec's were too 'Honky' for me, so I sold them also. I also have a pair of NOS Philips AD5060/M8 raw drivers. I feel IMO that they don't quite cut it in sound quality/realism as the 5061's.
