    The white is the undercoat. The salmon pink is the topcoat. :)

    Heh. I get the philosophy, anyway; for Mrsdegraded, it'd have to be pale grey.

    I think its a pretty good compromise that if I get to build gigantic speakers, she can paint it whatever she wants.

    In fact I'd like my kids to try painting a couple.

    I've been seeing you post pics about this for a while now. Did you get the design files for these horns from somewhere or just have a go at it? Small changes in the curvature of a horn have dramatic effects on the achieved performance (comb filtering a gogo).

    I believe he is using an edgarhorn design

    Super work, philipmorgan.

    @Cspirou, I believe I've heard and enjoyed a pair of those speakers. I'd expect the frog to add interest though! Nice work: are they yours?

    Wow, that article said you could buy any of those horns from him for $60. That would have been nice, but unfortunately, it is no longer the 1980s.

    Yeah, they blew my hair back when I read that part. You can't even get an equivalent injection molded horn for anywhere near that price now.

    @Thad E Ginathom - I wish! I lifted this image from diyaudio. Though it is one of my favorite iterations of the Frugal-horn

    I know Bruce must have gotten reasonably fast at making them, but mine have been astoundingly labor-intensive to build. Prolly 100 hours at least.

    Frugal horn, @Cspirou. Yes, that's the one. It was a popular project on a site I used to frequent and I did hear a pair. Impressive for the size of the driver. But it's like putting up a shelf, compared to what @philipmorgan is doing there. Putting up a shelf compared to boatbuilding!
