picky Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 This "scary-looking", gigantic speaker is a folded bass horn made from steel that was used behind theater screens that had very little clearance from the back of the screen to the rear wall of the stage area. A low profile woofer of sorts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechMan Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I honestly feel like I was there with your great presentation of the goings on picky.

picky Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Eyes-closed listening is what systems like these invoke.
