Looking for a picture

db-bass Silver Member Username: Tpizzle Post Number: 536 Registered: Apr-05	Posted on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 - 21:34 GMT Does anyone have the picture of the guy in his living room standing next to his rediculously large horn speakers by chance? It was a custom setup where the speakers ran from his lawn outside into his living room. I remember a post months ago that featured these pictures and I wanted to forward them to a friend. thanks

The one I am looking for has the speakers coming out through the wall and extending probably 20 feet out into the backyard. Has anyone heard horn speakers? How does their sound compare to traditional speakers or electrostatic speakers?

Or I should say, remember the one posted on this forum. Problem is I forget what thread it was in, and don't know where it was found. I'll keep an eye out for it.

The other speakers in the room appear to be for the rest. I could be wrong about this, but the mouths of the horns are too close together to give a decent spread of sound I would have thought. Insane system...
db-bass Silver Member Username: Tpizzle Post Number: 539 Registered: Apr-05	Posted on Thursday, August 07, 2008 - 18:18 GMT So have any of you heard horn speakers? Are they designed for certian types of music or are they just another look? How do they compare to electrostatic or box speakers?
Frank Abela Gold Member Username: Frank_abela Berkshire UK Post Number: 3136 Registered: Sep-04	Posted on Friday, August 08, 2008 - 10:39 GMT Horn speakers are just another design based on the principles of acoustic coupling. There are as many different sounds available from them as there are any other speakers. However, they do usually have certain common characteristics. They're usually physically large. They usually have high sensitivity. They usually have a benign impedance curve. This is why they are so often matched to valve amplifiers. In terms of presentation, their most usual common characteristic is that they're very dynamic. The problem many people have with them (aside from their physical size) is a disconnect between bass and the rest of the frequency range, timing wise. Many horns also have a lack of truly deep bass since the horn has to be really big to be able to reproduce truly deep bass below 40hz. People who like horns absolutely love them generally speaking.
