It's a pic that has wandered around the email circuit and internet for years. I wonder if it is real. It does look a bit like it could be a rendered model -- and it seems like the kind of subject somebody would model. If it is real wouldn't it represent quite a bit of overkill?
-
There is a group of purist audiophiles who believe in the purity of the horn over the typical cone speaker. This is an extreme case
I was looking for a site where they built a sub woofer horn below the floor of the room which is added overkill but I can't find it.Thanks for posting that one though.
Here's my favourite oldie from the web

What could that big shiny thingy at the back be? Can it be part of the audio system setup?
-
The big shiney thing is a Bass Horn. The speaker is inside and the curved shape forms a "folded horn".
the others are straight horns with a speaker driver at the rear. There are four horns going from low to high frequencies making it a 4 way speaker system. Each would have it's own amplifier which I assume are valve driven as audiophiles love valve amps. Valve amps distort in the 2nd harmonic which the ear can handle (the Marshal stack that goes up to 11 ) - transistors distort on the 3rd harmonic which the ear doesn't like.
Hope this helps
cheers
john
