Oh dear, still he is happy with the lash up I don't know what those speakers are but I find all pro gear far too coloured. Now JBL Everests are a different matter. |

Ouch! But seriously, I would happily hire a tool like that when I have to move them.

Wilson speakers are a good start - there's a US brand I have a lot of time for. Not familiar with the electronics. Interesting that they chose record replay as their primary source.
He likes the Jessye Norman Four Last Songs. Top man!

Well I guess it depends on your skills and what deck you have. The way some people described setting up the LP12 it was as though you needed to do a 4 year degree at the University of Linn. Mind you there were / are some highly vested interests in that. |

Wonder what sound pressure level they would reach in that room?

Those mid / bass horns need more separation as they are doing above 60Hz I would think, not sure they go truly deep unless that's a 4+m high room. Perhaps some horn subs are lurking somewhere👍🙂 Can't be 2 way surely? The drivers in the smaller horns are not really in compression, so it's more like waveguides. They look like Fostex Style that full rangers / backloaders use. |

You beat me to it regarding Fostex drivers or similar.

Full marks for the big horns though!
That's dedication.
~3 octaves per horn rule always comes to mind. It's hard to bend that rule.
They could be dual mid / tweeter drivers?
I've not heard dual drivers work sweetly in a horn. A waveguide, maybe?

I remember reading in I think Practical Wireless early 1960's of concrete speaker cabinets here and particularly the USA and in the 1970's Wireless World the story of a man who lived in what must have been a bungalow built enormous long horns into the corners of his lounge using brick & breezeblocks through the celling into the roof/loft space above where he had B139 speakers firing into the horns then using a John Linsley Hood parametric graphic equaliser to combine the horns with Kelly ribbon tweeters. Described as sounding like Quad 57's on steroids that could play organ music easily. |

Gosh, that takes me back to my University days. I devoured Linsley Hood's designs in Wireless World and built his 75W stereo amplifier with quasi-complimentary NPN output stages. I still remember the power transistors being Sescosem BDY56 high current NPNs, relatively inexpensive 15A devices. That amp didn't half sound good. |

Due to a lease condition of no external aerials I have one of the flat square FM aerials John Linsley Hood designe made of 1.5mm thick steel plate in a specially made recess in the eves made when we buit in the loft over our flat better than a 5 element antiference aerial unfortunately lots of new buildings between us in Ealing & Wrotham despite living on a hill has dropped the signal strength & is now immovable. |
