HORN CABINETS
Horn cabinets are designed to enhance the bass
of the drivers. The Fostex drivers in these are small
and not capable of hard hitting bass. The horn
configurations helps them create lower ocataves in
the music.
This pair of horns is designed to perform best in the corner of a room.
Full range drivers such as the ones used here are some of the purest
audio speakers on the market. The reproduce music with accuracy and
clarity, not found in many multiple driver systems.
A crossover is not needed with these, so the cost / value ratio is a
bargain in all cases. Many web sites are devoted to the development of
the full range horn cabinets. They have a solid following and reviews are
always positive. Used with a small sub, they will out perform many
systems costing much, much more.
WOW!!! Check out the incredible work Greg did with the cabinets below. Look for a write up on
these soon along with a smaller pair he ordered and finished to match.
Each of these weigh in at 85 pounds.

FOSTEX CABINETS
Fostex is world famous for quality hi performance audio products. Their full range drivers offer
super performance for a great price. The cabinets used for these range from simple bass reflex
style to folded horns in just about any design style you can imagine. The prices of these depend
on the complexity of the design, but a simple bass reflex is where it all starts. Check out some of
