Building Horn Speakers

Recently, there was an excellent thread on digi_instruments with lots of great examples of people building their own horn speakers!

Here are my favorite links from that thread:

• The Paper Horn by Inlow Sound
• Horn Ether 
• Gimbal Loudspeakers, part 1 - make sure to press "view slideshow"
• Gimbal Loudspeakers, part 2
• Gimbal Loudspeakers, part 3 - make sure to click "view slideshow"

If you never knew, horn speakers, can be extremely efficient.

That extra efficiency often means your speakers sound louder with same amount of power.

But you're an audiophile, not an ecologist, right, so who cares?!

Well, the amplifiers don't get pushed into distortion regions as easily, so the sound quality can be improved.

Horn loudspeakers fell out fashion many years ago, but slowly people are waking up to them again.
