Of course the top end of the aer drivers is pretty much "there" as I am sure people remember from hearing James'. But just to be sure I nail it I've got some bu208a's and am awaiting arrival of pl519's for an ozone factory which should fit quite nicely on top of the fronthorns. The man Mik...

I think the one on the right here is the bass horn, at vsac he had only achieved a prototype which was floor to ceiling, no bigger than one of my floor to ceiling baffles, it was in unfinished wood.

They are open back, which I don't rate, your images explain a multitude of sins. Also right now I've inverted one of them, Looking around the web most people that have horns on top like mine or AMT's on top use the more Briggs shaped baffle.

:D :D :D

did you notice Charity Dingle is such a good actress she can play to entirely different characters on two different sides of the hill in exactly the same way. Sheer Yorkshire geniosity.

You are meant to load them from behind with a box and a hole in it, I must get the dimensions from the bloke. He built them from a Crabb design. He has some of Crabbs notes and found the design in them. I've only just got to know him so early days for actually obtaining such resources from him to pu...
