[BC] Comparing the audio in the Big 50's

[Milton Holladay]

Not too long after the MW series came out, I heard their audio quality 
described as "cold".
The 317C , I thought, sounded neutral and as clean as could be.
The 317B and WWL's RCA both had a subtle lisping  quality that I took to 
mean that they had no trouble modulating higher frequencies due to lack 
of iron in the audio circuits................
Did one of those RCAs use 6697s ?
