Those are neat but need a proper shelf to put them on. To sound their best they shouldn't be put on the floor. I think they should be inverted somehow.

:LOL:

One more bend could place the driver up onto the side or nearby of the horn mouth -- that'd be like the "Saxophone" by B&W some years ago. (funny I can't find the pics on web?)

Yes, that's it! Emphasis is the name! Thanks for the link.

How beautiful! I remember it was demo'ed in the window of the hi-fi shop I once worked for. It had been holding that position for a very long time. It seemed it's there forever. Even after I quitted that job...

$ 1,500 a pair are they kidding or what!
Some fibreglass castings, cranked out of China for ten bucks a pop & they want to sell it for $ 1,500 ????
Lets get real people!

Hahaha .... Of course from a DIYer's viewpoint it's ridiculous. But there are people don't DIY and have money. I assure you, there are lots of them! And not only in audio, in many many other things...

Pit Hinder · 30th September 2009, 07:13 AM

Well - more cosmetics than sound, and $1500 make sure they won´t be found in my hovel! But as to small horns per se: BEWARE! Have a giggle and ask Godzilla which megagigamonster horns started his addiction...
