Absolutely stunning! If that is the standard of the 1930s... what progress have we really made since then? Horn speakers are unsurpassed. We have to make compromises due to our limited living space in flats or houses, alas. Thank you for sharing this unique experience.
There is something magical about big, big horns, the clarity, the snap - dynamics, ability to control the air in a room - they seem to grab the “air” and move it and can simulate the engulfing of the entire environment. Of note, I happen to be one of those idiots that believe their is no such thing as a too big of a TV and the same holds for speakers if placed properly within the space - for me I’ve turned into an Altec corner horn fan which mitigates many of the boundary issues. Killer system and all those who value emotional sound should thank these guys for keeping the flame burning.
Thank you AF for this cool video. It is good to see J.C.Morrison formally of the NY Triode Mafia here. Oh what I would give to have the speakers and the room/space to utilize them to their fullest. Thank you again.
Speakers sound Great. First selection of music sucked ! The second much better, would have loved to hear Buddy Guy Old Man , or along that sound. Fantastic !
I discovered Horn Loaded Speakers 50 years ago and still listening to them. They are great

Was not expecting to hear Depeche Mode. Happy surprise.
I was expecting Diana Krall.
This video actually transports the sound of the 30's. If you compare this with digital recordings of the titles played, you are very impressed
Well… what the F? We’ve gone backwards… This is absolutely spectacular!

It's sound quality with thick lines.
magnifico.
insane!!!
Yikes! This creepy set-up would be at home in Frankenstein's lab and Dracula's castle!
Why not reintroduce them again?
Big sound
does anyone know the measurrments of the big horns
5 watts amplifier and horns made out of paper mache??? We did not make any progress on audio equipment we went backwards.

yes its pointless to demonstrate such equipment with synthesised or heavily processed sounds. A waste of time.
