WE 16a Horns!

If my wife thinks I’m insane, she should have come to Peter’s place to see this marvellous Western Electric 16a horn replica made by this man.  A beautiful horn indeed. The sound is quite particular and has very attractive sound image which is closer to a mono than stereo and you need to get used to it. It’s worth listening to. Peter has an three-way active crossover. The horns are driven by a 6B4G amp. We listened to several tracks and enjoyed listening to it during the brief session before a fantastic Curry we had last night.

  1. Lucky man. The dedicated Japanese audiophile is a continuing wonder. What beautiful work!

    One would worry a little about all of that metal, though. Do you detect any artifacts due to the construction?

    Chris Sommovigo used to live close to me in Atlanta before he made the move to Japan.

    Another dedicated audio kook whom I admire!

  2. Please spray some water carefully on the wrinkled fabric covered the glued parts. The wrinkles will be got unfolded while the parts are drying.
