Remarks

There are rumours that later discount models should be of simpler construction. Recognition signs should be a tweeter taken from the lower series Odeon and the surround bipoles (silk black instead of gray, no felt ring) and a simpler speaker terminal. This brought the solidly constructed original model into disrepute due to bad sound experiences with the later model.

Whether this is really the case was never officially clarified and is to be considered a rumor!
