I remember that quad was pushed big time by Harry Maynard, who hosted
the weekly show "Men of Hi-Fi" on WNYC-FM in New York during the
70's. I believe that he also was the publisher of the short-lived
"FM Guide". I met Mr. Maynard one time at a meeting of the NY Audio
Society, it was interesting but I only made it to one meeting.
