Western Electric WE755A is rather expensive and well-known speaker that was made in around 1980.   The owner was hesitant to send it by courier because it is extremely hard to procure WE755A if something goes wrong. commonly known as "Pancake"   So they agreed to meet at the middle of either side, and Hasehiro received WE755A from the owner by hand.   WE755A was great! When Hasehiro listened to a symphony, he entered a new world where individual sounds became clearer and he could catch the details of each note.   When Hasehiro listened to cellist Yo-Yo Ma, he could see the bow bounce on the strings of the the water of the cello. He could see a sensitive artifice by Yo-Yo Ma. Hasehiro was fascinated by a pleasant air of slow high tone. Yo-Yo Ma gives him goose bumps. It's beautiful high tone but also he could see the vibration of the cello strings.   A female singing voice and a saxophone have a nostalgic sepia atmosphere that cannot be described in words. This is not just the loudspeakers, this is like the alpha-speakers.   Hasehiro must admit he couldn't get too excited about the original WE755A. He thought this great impression is by harmony with the acoustic echo of WCW horn.   It's not that easy for Hasehiro to leave the hybrid backloaded WE755A speakers with oil-stain finishing. retro styled WCW (oil-stained opening)     Reunion with WE755A - SSC Flat Speaker   published in Oct.2005: Western Electric WE755A is precious vintage speaker driver. One of Hasehiro speaker owner visited Hasehiro Audio with his WE755A drivers. The visitation purpose is to preview the sound of SSC flat speaker (selling only in Japan) with WE755A he ordered.   Hasehiro dismounted ALTEC CD408-8A from SSC flat speakers. And he mounted WE755A on that SSC flat speakers, but he couldn't set in the SSC flat speakers because of deep driver. If SSC flat speaker has more 1 to 2mm depth... Hasehiro steadied WE755A by screwdriver with force. So the flange face of WE755A stand out from the front baffle board of SSC flat speaker.   First, they listened to jazz music but this was not impress them much, perhaps because of the influence of incomplete mounting. Hasehiro guessed that the sound is only combination of WCW concrete horn and WE755A after all.   But Hasehiro agreed listening to Yo-Yo Ma. RS: Western Electric WE755A   Hasehiro felt it was like electricity running thorough him at the same point in the same track "I could have danced all night".   Yo-Yo Ma's CD is the measuring instrument of sound quality for strings to Hasehiro. He never feel it is like electricity running thorough him if the sound is not so good, but he experiences numbness in his skull skin with emotion if the sound is wonderful. However, he felt it was like electricity running from head to toe at this time. It was a first great experience in a while for him.   The owner decided to mount the precious WE755A on SSC flat speaker.   episode             Thank you for coming to the sound reproducing world.
