Hey Audiogon how about a DIY/Horn section?


Any other Audiogon members out there who would like to see a section just for the DIY'er/Horn/Quirky/eccentric type of gear? I for one would.
What say you?

A very good idea. I have become convinced that a well executed horn system is the most realistic reproduction available.

And the eccentric gear idea is great because I'm tired of the boring same as last year crap that issues relentlessly from the reviewer/magazine/manufacturer cartel.

It would be nice to have an Audiogon Forum for cutting edge and edgy designs and concepts. Bring it on!
I think we may be fighting the entrenched dome tweeter lobby.
It never fails to amaze me how bland this whole thing remains. The same old topics about the same old tired designs and their innumerable clones. So many people still using high horsepower SS amps and low efficiency speakers and tweaks and gimmicks and tweaks and gimmicks and tweaks and gimmicks....................

It's back to the future for me these days and a thread like this is needed for those of us who have discovered that audio jumped the rails about 30 years ago. Analog, tubes and horns when paired properly will completely eclipse digital, solid state and acoustic suspension if your goal is to reignite the fires of the original musical performance.

If you're doing movies and sound effects, forget I said anything.
