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".
