Done! I sold my 1st pair of folded horns using Fostex FE206e drivers (wonder why PE doesn't stock Fostex)

1st customers' setup:

What a beautiful design! Very warm and organic. Nice work- how do they sound?

Outstanding workmanship. Pat yourself on the back. What did you use to design the horn's shape and ensure your bends were correct?

Those look awesome. One day, ONE DAY I want to get my own CNC rig. Until then, how much would you charge for rent ;). Heck, I wonder what Andy G could come up with if he had one of those in his shed. Simply mind boggling. Thanks for sharing and making my day.

this was my 2nd building attempt, I built a single prototype from a base Mauhorn 12 and based on that design, the T-horn is highly modified (basically a Buschhorn configuration)

Yes, I almost would like to live in my garage, but I have to keep my day job.

I plan to build several more pairs, maybe to sell...

My current setup consist of 2 pairs in the garage powered by an very old Aiwa cassette deck bookshelf system.

How does it sound? Just like in a dance club. Hard to say, but probably only using less than 30 watts. At half volume, need to yell to the person standing 2 feet away to hear. It's totally clean (no x-overs here), AMAZING and addicting; just want to RUN home and listen.

Nice pair of speakers. Did you do any tweeking to

the fostex fe2062 drivers or the ones in your

T.L.? How did you deal with the beaming or

terble hump like a loud shout? Mine I put in a

a bassreflex and broke then in for 40 to 50 hours

but, still had that problem no tweeking on my

fostex fe206e drivers. How did you det rig of the

doll holes on the side of the finished panels?

I mean I do not see them? Thanks jm

OK, so what's your price for just the cabinets, unloaded and with plain sides? I think a Lowther D3 in one might sound decent...

Wow, $1400 is a very good price. Do you take orders? I have a set of DX3's I haven't done anything with yet. The Lowthers sound very good and are used in some very high-end systems, although they can be a bit harsh and require some notch filtering or EQ (at least to my ears.)
