TRIBUTE TO SAM T.

Sam T. was a gentleman I met many years ago through a worker in a senior works program. He had an interest in electronics and speaker design. He told me that he had made a set of speakers into a pole lamp. It certainly was an interesting design and JVC was interested in it but he was afraid they would steal the idea from him so he disbanded the project. Now the tweeters and midrange of the system went into the pole lamps themselves. From that, he told me that because these speakers were self-sealed, that they did not need to be put into a cabinet.

I ran into problems with the built in tweeters of my minimus 7 speakers that would constantly blow. So from Radio Shack, I bought some round piezo tweeters and mounted them on a bracket above the cabinets. Piezo's do not blow. This has worked very well. I also did other experiments along this line with interesting results.
