I can appreciate the workmanship, though!

Must be like getting blasted by an air-raid siren.

That's what I love about this hobby - there's more than one way to skin a cat (or cast concrete!).

I did notice the speaker wire on the little pedestals.  103dB sensitivity

I never knew that Dr. Seuss made speakers.

 

(BTW, Horns are very efficient)

Would you like them

I do not like
big horns in white.
that sound like sirens in the night,
Sam-I-am.

Would you listen to them
in a house?
Would you listen to  them
with a mouse?

Big French white horns look odd to me

Even if they’re one-oh-three!

Those would have very low WAF. 

Check out the painting on the wall - they seem to match the decor in an odd sort of way.

WOW!  I have worked in the Industrial field for more than 20 years and I have never designed or conceived an ideal use for concrete like this,  yet!

Me too Bill. What's the point?

 

[SteveFord 1,125]

Supposedly it improves the sound. 

I think they're imagining things with that one, though.

[RobertG 16]

Rod,  your poem is way cool and funny creative!

Classic: "Green Eggs and Ham"

 

- I have 3 little ones....I dream about the stuff  (nightmares??)

 

 

And as to the wire lifts: "a fool and his money...."

I recognized your play on the Dr. Seuss classic right away. It was one of Zack's favorite bedtime stories.

They were the only books he read without prompting that DID NOT involve trains, planes or construction vehicles.

[Guest RodH]

It was my favorite as a kid. Still know the whole thing word for word....

[RobertG 16]

Wow,  I'm impressed.   I can't remmeber much from  a kid's perspective.

In some respects it looks like those designers did their homework, and in other respects it doesn't.  I like the way that they staggered the drivers so that the elements are synchronized in he same vertical plane.  Although that maintains phase coherence, it creates some problems with visual appeal because the horns are different lengths.  So then you need those odd looking Seuss-y cantilevered horns on top.

 

What I don't like about them is that the bass horns flare out enough in the upward direction to interfere with the dispersion of the tweeter that sits in the middle.

I think they just don't like dusty cables. 

[Guest RodH]

Maybe keeping them up off the cold tile floor speeds up the burn-in?

Looks a lot like the insulators the power company uses on transmission lines.

 

 

[Guest RodH]

I guess if your amp supplies 20,000V @ 10mA to provide 200W you might need these!

[BillD 239]

Especially the collection marked with X.
