The big horns came today and they look like a winner. Very well built, sound better when you talk through them compared to the smaller horns, finished off inside in a good looking flat black finish, thick, heavy construction, with a bolt-on driver configuration. Anticipating this, and from D.D.'s advice, I got a couple of adapters which only have one hole that matches...will have to drill a couple of holes in the horn driver mounting flange, but that should not be a big problem. It appears I

One other point and a good tip: I stopped by Radio Shack and was looking at speaker wire b/c all I had left was some old zip-cord lamp wire stuff...and was horrified by their prices for fair grade speaker wire...so I went home and got on monoprice.com and found 100" of Oxygen-free 12 ga speaker wire for less than $30 shipped.. 25 ft of more spindly wire was going to cost twice that much at the store in the strip mall, and was only a little better at Lowe's.

Jacksonbart in his above post said it best of all of us... If you veneered them yourself, I'm thinking in maybe a real flamey Koa wood, and dusted and cleaned off the insides, got a new/different anything(they are so efficient they will run with a lower-powered amp)for the front-end and power, if you started to pay attention to them and showed them some love and attention, her attitude would change. OR maybe it's you who does not care for them, and just blaming her....either way, it's

[quote user="hklinker"] Chuck, Do you have the link to the monoprice wire?

I was very satisfied with previous purchases and availability, customer service from these folks. Someone on the forum here told me about them and so thanks to whomever that was!!.

D.D., I appreciate the input. I am going to start with these big horns I found on e-bay and see where it takes me. If I do not like them, I have one alternative already on hand, and if that does not work, I am going to look into making my own. By Friday, I will have all the requisite guts rounded up and will start building them out. I am fortunate to have a week off, glad to have the time to be able to deal with some of the details....it'll be like drawing a bucket of water from a really, really

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350277044610&ssPageName=ADME:L:CORT:US:1123 This looks interesting....in my own case, it would fit the CornScala cabinets I got from the Cigar Bum without having to do much to the motorboard. The hole for Mr Al K's big wood horns is 18" wide, and this "H4427" horn is 17.5" wide, so it will fit handily with only a little to spare laterally. I figure a bead of silicone and we're through here. This horn is 10 and

Going by what the first CL ad guy said, they sound better than everything....maybe they sound better than their own selves every new listening session????

I was just about to say that the highest and best use of these for real old Mullards would be in a guitar amplifier.

I had a 2001 3.2 CL Type S Acura 2-door with auto transmission that was a stone cold lemon...transmission blew up at 40K miles. Lots of these cars had the same problem, and the corporate response left most everybody with a bad taste in their mouths. I have had better luck with my Tahoe by far, been blessed with a highly reliable vehicle. If/when I buy another, guess where I'm going?? Chuck
