"High Fidelity" MAY have been used for a planned (no idea
if it ever happened...?!) use of the newly-assigned 1500-1600kHz
expansion of the "broadcast band"...I read about this while reading
my way through a backfile of "Radio News" I found in the ISU
library. The plan was to have AM stations with increased bandwidth
(15kHz, IIRC) in this space...which were to be called "high fidelity"
stations.

In fact, my E. H. Scott 800-B IS "high fidelity," albeit monophonic;
it uses push-pull 6L6's feeding a co-axial speaker...!
