    Opinion is only as valid as its verifiable supporting evidence.

    That seller always has some rare and high end stuff.

    I am also curious about those WE midrange drivers

    They weren't a midrange driver, but voice range. There's a difference.

    Final iteration of the KS-14704 loud speaking telephone receiver.

    You can find KS-14704's that are identical to the 720A, and rarely you can find early versions with a threaded snout.

    I suspect the original may be flatter, but the Altec versions had a sizable peak at 2k that makes them unsuitable for Hi-fi. Sizable as in maybe 12 DB.
