Mullard pure music cone loud speaker, 1928.

After the introduction of the amplifying valve, which meant that radio signals could be shared via speakers, rather than heard only on headsets, the market for “high fidelity” loudspeakers to be used with radio sets, and also electric gramophones, grew rapidly. Adverts for the Mullard Pure Music speaker claimed it gave “such extraordinary realism that you can almost see the performer”.
