I was worried about my memory but I was able to find that I wasn't imagining things. Back in the 70's a very good friend of mine working at IBM showed me plans for a Georgian speaker. He had considered building one at first but later purchased the Corner Horns after finding out how much work and precision it would require. At first I was wondering if anyone was interested in those plans but low and behold I found them on eBay along with another speaker, he told me about but didn't have the plans for and that is the Patrician with a 30" driver where the Georgian had an 18" and the Corner Horn has 15" if I recall. I wonder what role that Paul Klipsch had with Electro Voice when he built this speaker and was he just coming of age to put together his company at that stage. I don't have the material in front of me but I believe it was dated 1942 or 43. Would also be interested in that. Is there a link to any kind of history of PWK that you know of?

In the 1970's there was a disco on Loop 12 near Bachman Lake in northern Dallas, Texas which had a very tall dome that was a bell tower. The name of the club was "Bell Ringer". I used to dance under this tower and suspended from the ceiling of this very tall bell tower, which was right above the dance floor was a full length bass horn. This speaker was I am guessing a full length bass horn and in the corner of the lip (I think the horn was black) was in white lettering "KLIPSCH". Do you know anything about this horn, how it came to be or where it came from? Such a thrill I remember after meeting Paul Klipsch at a presentation at SMU (Dallas) and being convinced to obtain some Corner Horns to be able to dance below that speaker. It was one of the thrills of that era for me.
