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".
