    would 755s be considered biflex speakers?

    would 755s be considered biflex speakers?
    someone gave me a pair and i just love them. (before anyone chokes they're only Es) i put them in a pair of boxes i got from the thrift store. and i use them on the back porch. as far as quality sound they put my living room set to shame. i never thought it sounded that bad, but now i can hear finger slides on guitars, people singing in spots i never knew existed,

    so back to what i was asking,, the 755s do have ring ridges in the cone.

    Biflex is a trademark. They were designed by Altec. The 755 was a Western Electric design, and was made for years before the Biflex. Altec never called the 755 a biflex.
    Your neighbors called. They like your music.

    called or not would you consider it? the ridges in the cone are there for a purpose.

    Let's call it the precursor to the Biflex. It certainly incorporates the principle. It's not just a ridge in the cone.
    Nothing like a great big pair of speakers to make your day.

    There are lots of speakers with ridges in cones. The best I'll go is there is some similarity. No would not consider the 755 a Biflex.
