Hey Audiogon how about a DIY/Horn section?

Great idea, Gawdbless! And perhaps to go along with it, maybe a category for buying and selling raw parts - tubes, drivers, horns, transformers, plate amps, enclosures, stuff like that.

I like it too. But to be clear, you're not suggesting one new category for DIY and Horns together are you? Rather, one for each?

I also like the raw parts idea.

I'm in. Great idea.

Fellow quirkies, Audiogon as we all know has a section headed just 'speakers' that covers everything, whilst I do read many threads the vast majority of threads are to do with sealed unit speakers and that does not particular interest me greatly. I would be happy with a section which encapsulates the types of speakers etc that I have mentioned above, and any other types I have not mentioned.
Anyone know how we can get the ball rolling on this?
We maybe peeing into the wind here, but it's worth a shot I think, and so do you guys!

I think we may be fighting the entrenched dome tweeter lobby.
It never fails to amaze me how bland this whole thing remains. The same old topics about the same old tired designs and their innumerable clones. So many people still using high horsepower SS amps and low efficiency speakers and tweaks and gimmicks and tweaks and gimmicks and tweaks and gimmicks....................

It's back to the future for me these days and a thread like this is needed for those of us who have discovered that audio jumped the rails about 30 years ago. Analog, tubes and horns when paired properly will completely eclipse digital, solid state and acoustic suspension if your goal is to reignite the fires of the original musical performance.

If you're doing movies and sound effects, forget I said anything.
