For those so interested, a recent build from scratch of the Voigt Corner Horn is chronicled here:

I know you are as much listening to the microphone in these youtube recordings, but it's obvious to hear it has a dynamic and full-bodied sound. I'd love to hear it in person. In stereo if at all possible.

The Voigt domestic corner horn was a total design; Lowther drive units are completely different in them. No "shout" and a really even frequency response. (I measured a pair of a friend)
That you tube recording doesn't just show how good the domestic corner horn is. It also shows how satisfying a mono rendition (with one speaker) can be.

I've always wanted to listen to one of these. There was one for sale on eBay in the UK not that long ago. I think it was £1,800 without the driver.
Correction: £4495.
I just looked over those photos again. I need to start practicing my wood-working skills. I'm definitely going to attempt this at some point.

Hello, I'm back from salt mines! Ever since I first read of the Voigt corner horns in a article published in Speaker Builder in the 80's I have looked for plans for this design. It would be a interesting project. Anyone uncover the construction details?
My understanding is that the builders are making the plans freely available, according to the article.
These fellows, Peter Skinner, David Watson et-al, are on your side of the pond from what I remember. Here are my links to contemporary articles on the construction of the Voight Corner Horn.
Apparently the plans are not, yet, available.

I would like to add my vote for a set of plans, could not afford to commission a build. But would love to take the project on 🙄
I'd be keen on plans as well. Commissioning a build would be cost prohibitive. Perhaps a small fee for the plans.

The only other corner horn I've seen is the Decware, which looks MUCH easier to build - how do these two compare with each other ?
Really? FH3 (and the original FH) is a corner horn. As is Ed Schilling's Hornshoppe Horn, the Buschorns, most of my commercial boxes, several of the Tannoy GRF designs, several Klipschorns & many, many others. A corner horn is not defined by whether the cabinet is designed to physically fit flush into a corner but by whether the horn is designed to use the 1/8 space boundary condition.
