Who are we?....... OK, I admit it, it's just
me (Ed Schilling) and Dad (Charles). This is what we build......................>

Hand built, single driver loudspeakers that are rear
loaded, folded, corner horns. Designed to be placed in the corners
of the room and capable of high SPL using SET (or other
flea power) amplifiers.Corner placement is not required but suggested
for maximum extension and output. The Horn uses a single 4.5" full
range driver (actual cone diameter is about 3.5 inches) and the pair
are capable of 98-100db (peaks) in an average size room with a 3 watt
( or greater) amplifier. No restrictions on power. An easy 8 0hm load.
Size 30"tall, 11.5"deep, 6" wide.
The Horns are now Red Oak veneer.
As an option they can be veneered in Birch, Cherry, Mahogany, or
Walnut. I also have access to the Wilsonart line of laminate. Call
for details. I will also veneer them in any wood
you have sent to me....for no additional charge.
The Horns are
$850 For A Matched Pair ( in Red Oak) with Fostex Fe 126E drivers,
includes
shipping in the USA. The Laminates
and veneers other than Oak all add $75 to the price.
Upgrades available for all Horn owners, call or E-Mail for
details.
We don't build a "speaker of the month" or
150 different models....we just build one good one, well, two
actually, not counting the Cube "Bass Augmenter". The Model Two is
basically a more efficient "The Horn". I will always make
provisions for "upgrades" to every single one we make . I will never leave old friends "out in
the cold".
Please
take a look at the Review page and the New Stuff page..........
Purchase price refunded
(please figure it out within 30 days!) if you are not completely satisfied.
Please note that I do not charge a "re-stocking fee" but I do not refund
shipping charges
or special finish surcharges.
There are plenty of single driver speakers
on the market now. We have been building essentially the same speaker
for over 8 years now. The reason is simple, it works. It worked
8 years ago and it will work 80 years from now. Many "new" single
driver speaker designs are NOT "new". I rejected most of the
schemes for them decades ago. For many reasons.........Please
read my why page, it is a start. It's not the driver, it's not the cabinet,
it is the package that works.
All 126E based speakers are not the same and can not be
lumped into one category even though many try to put forth that notion.
There is a reason we build what we do. And our review
page and success is the result. We build "the real thing", not
just something that makes noise and has a fancy name. A single
driver speaker is not, or at least should not be viewed as a "gimmick".
There are reasons why we don't build other models.......and
it isn't because we can't. Ask yourself, or better yet, ask me
why! Bigger is NOT always better, and in the world
of single driver speakers this is oh so very true. Or else I would
build bigger ones! Think about that
for a while.
Sterophile ranked and recommended.
Not a gimmick. The "real thing".
