- Gilbert Arthur Briggs (1890 – 9 January 1978), commonly referred to as "G. A. Briggs", founded Wharfedale Wireless Works in Yorkshire, England, in 1932, and was a leading figure in the early development of high fidelity loudspeakers introducing such basics as the two-way loudspeaker and the ceramic magnet, as well as writing some famous books on audio and loudspeakers. Britain was at the forefront of developments in radio, audio and television, and Wharfedale is still known as a leading manufacturer of high quality loudspeakers, although the company was sold in 1958 to The Rank Group and in the early 1990s to . Briggs was a proud Yorkshireman whose passion for audio came out of a love of music, and who built a business out of a hobby, working long hours and always promoting what he truly believed in. In the 1950s, Briggs embarked on an ambitious collaboration with a close friend and colleague, Peter Walker, founder of Quad Electroacoustics. With Quad supplying the amplifiers and Wharfedale building the loudspeaker systems, they embarked on what was to become an industry-defining series of concerts when audiences were invited to experience live versus recorded music first hand. They toured the UK and the US, playing at venues including the Royal Festival Hall in London and Carnegie Hall in New York City. (en)
