WMcD Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 For your weekend reading. Below is an article from 50 years ago which comments on many horns in production at the time. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted April 15, 2005 Author Share Posted April 15, 2005 This was the article which commented unfavorably on the Rebel / Shorthorn ("...is a cornerhorn partly by virtue of advertising copy.). PWK wrote an article defending the design. Gil Horn-type Speaker Systems.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBrennan Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Great stuff Gil. I used to have those articles, scrounged them up in a used magazine store that was on Clark a couple of blocks north of Lake back when the area was ratty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMcD Posted April 15, 2005 Author Share Posted April 15, 2005 I'm pleased to be of service. We read about the other horns, like the LEE, etc. This documents them. It is bit disappointing there is not more detail on the planetarium horn. The Hayden Planetarium in NYC had a terrific sounding system. I wonder if it was something like that. When I got to Chicago in 1975 everything surrounding the Loop was in pretty poor condition, and the Loop itself was not so good. Now, all that has changed. Tom, you should check out Chicago Public Library (Harold Washington at State and Van Buren). They have Radio Electronics on the open shelves in bound volumes. Flipping through any of it is fun. Journal of the Audio Engineering Society is on microfilm. Most of Audio is in bound volumes on reserve, some on microfilm. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
consistent Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Fantastic Stuff! You wonder whether the 'art' of corner horn design is lost in today's world of mass production and 'quick fixes'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
