Auratones were called as such.
It may be a corect name but the horror tone comes from:
The revealed nastiness of a driver power amp.
Bad placement of mics.
Unsuitable mix.
Non compensation of Fletcher Munson curves or voice effort curves or proximity effect on voice production.
Etc.
A linoleum made Pleiades Auratone 5C type speaker is begining to be used in sound recording or production.
Any fault is instantly revealed on anything, from recording room, to mic used, to recorder used, to power amplifier used to listening room used.
For example while listening to some older Pleiades recordings even a world class Beyer M119 mic sounds like a joke when an incorrect value of Pleiadss (R,L) filter is used. If a filter is not used even worse. This is for male singing vocals at 2-3 inch.
Horrortone magic mirror.
