These diy cabinets with fostex drivers are avalaible to buy locally. Does anyone here know what design these were based on? What is the idea behind the dual full range drivers?
It looks like two Buschorns stuck together for some reason, the horn mouth design is very distinctive. Those drivers are 108 sigmas I think. Probably sound best on their sides? Under a tv screen?
edit: maybe they hooked up one driver for regular listening and both drivers for parties..?

It could be diy. Looks like the commercial EdHorn where he “glued” 2 pf his horns together side by side. The Ed-Horn was simply a scale BH-lite for 3” drivers, the actaul Buschhorn was different.
The large B-Horn had a much smaller mouth.
The Horn inspired the first Frugel-Horn which edged out the origianl, the Frugel-Horn Mk3 smokes it. The plans include a vertical double, but gluing 2 of anything sidebar-side is doable.
These designs are from the age of guessing. We can now do proper sims, and in most cases do much better than these antiques.
The best driver we have tried for the FE108e∑ in is Aiko.

We removed the side of an Ed built Hornshoppe.
This is a rationalized drawing, the material in the box we did was nominal ⅝” chipboard, but it varied in thickness (the same panel) by as much a couple mm.

Depending on the driver center to center separation which looks about right, you could do a Polk SDA effect with a pair. Er, Ummm, not sure how the bass response would work out...
You could also do a single speaker enclosure stereo, and augment its separation perception using one of the "stereo wide" analog processing circuits / modules available.
Other than those possibilities, I'm not seeing the novelty in this design.
