Or tweak the horn, especially when you have made it yourself, which is
one of the fundamentals of DIY HiFi, the other is that you get "high
end" stuff for peanuts.


You and I obviously have a different definition of 'high end' when it
comes to sound quality.

Why not make a pair yourself it's not going to cost much and the results
might just be astounding!


Folded horn speakers are anything but new. And 'ye canna change the laws
of physics, captin'.


I would agree that folded horns are not new but then neither are boxes,
folded horns because of the design sound better than boxes. Clear and open
as opposed to muffled and sad when you listen to them side by side :-)
