If I could make a wish and discover any antique phonograph tomorrow in 
a  local shop, the "Multiplex Grand" would be my choice.


 
I am a die-hard Edison guy, but if I saw a Multiplex Grand "in a shop," I  
would consider it my duty to become its owner. However, I would include a few  
cylinders to play on it in my dream as well!
 
As for the machine's volume, the ad claims "great volume" as one  of the 
machines attributes. I found this plausible, but not because of the three  
horns 
alone. The three reproducers would move a lot more air, and therefore  might 
make more volume possible. I wonder how hard it was to keep all of  the 
grooves, 
recorders, and reproducers aligned properly? A tough  chore, I bet.
