Just curious . Hey Carl ,don't be bashful . I'll admit in the early 70's I obtained a set of plans , ( pages and a full scale orthographic plan (top) view ), for "The Mello Monsters" and built four of them . They were an article, I believe, from an early 60's Popular Electronics monthly magazine . They were a folded horn labyrinth enclosure , supposedly equal to a 16 foot straight horn . They each took a sheet and a half of 4x8 plywood , I used marine grade particle board 3/4 thick . That was some tough board to cut . Used 4 Lafayette 12" woofers , 4 Phillips 5" mid ranges , and 8 Philips dome tweeters- 2 per cabinet . Bought a Lafayette LR-5000 4 channel reciever 40wrms x 4 . I'll have to say it was impressive to hear weird sounds and passages of music that sounded as if one was in the orchestra . I still have a pair in the basement . They can take a small wattage and shake the house and still sound decent . I miss stores like Lafayette , some carried top brand name audio electronics , and you could order them through the mail from their catalog . Who' next ? FBI .
