Auditorium 23’s floorstanding Hommage Cinema comprises a bass bin with twin powered woofers—a 7″ mounted above a 12″—atop which sits an elegant folded horn intended to handle the output of a replica, made in China by Line Magnetic, of Western Electric’s classic 555 compression driver, which dates from 1927. Mounted on one side of the bass enclosure is Line Magnetic’s replica of Western Electric’s 597A compression driver, mounted in a small treble horn. Dating from 1929, the 597A, like the 555, has an aluminum diaphragm and is energized with a field coil.
