Great find.

Woah this is a great item.
Looks like someone is getting a new christmas gift.
Also great if you host people for parties often, its a great conversation starter. When I plan meetings / get togethers with people, I like to shape the conversation by using environmental methods. This would provoke a lot of discussion at the party about : Music Sound Concerts etc
Great find, and thanks!

We go so far out of our way to try and reproduce performances when we could just be paying musicians to practice their craft in public venues or at parties. Instead, we sit secluded at home listening to flawed reproductions, bitching about copyright law.

At $1500 a pair, they’d better be good.
The build process was pretty cool.

Yuk.

Full range horn speakers such as these are pretty popular with audio enthusiasts. I have to admit I never thought I’d see Fostex horns showing up on SvN. I wondered who made Andrew Bird’s horns, now I know. Makes my audio habit seem a little less geeky…

It seems there are speakers on the bottom. Doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose of having the horns?

Steve O:
The speaker has a back loaded horn for bass extension. Unlike some of the other horns on their web site, I don’t think all the sound is supposed to originate from the horn.
I have to admit when I saw these, I thought they would be difficult to set up. I haven’t heard them, but I think you’d want the driver at ear level. That would put the horns some 3 feet above that.
Electronically the speaker is very simple. One driver. No woofers, tweeters. or crossovers. These types of speakers were very popular in the early days of audio because high powered amplifiers were rare to non-existent and bass amplification was done acoustically.
