Videos of horns

Hi all,

Not everyone is comfortable uploading videos, but given that we cannot travel in COVID times to listen to systems, this is next best. Please upload your videos shot on mobile phones. My request is for you to play classical, jazz, and then whatever tickles your fancy.

Here are a few I have shot of friends’ systems.

I have covered below hORNs Universum (Radian 950be, Radian 475 tweeter, active downfiring woofer), Altec 817, TAD 4003 in a dual FLH with JBL, Cessaro Gamma (TAD 4001), AER BD4 and BD5, and Tune Audio Anima

I would be interested in hearing some other horns, especially JBL, Tang Band, Lowther, Vitavox

Starting with hORNs Universum

Cessaro used TAD 4001, here is another 4001 from a Russian named Oleg

Thank you for taking the time to put this together :+1:

Why, anything recorded on a phone is going to sound fuck all like the speaker being played.

Even worse when like the Tune Audio Anima video some knob has just recorded his feet tapping and doesn’t even show the speakers.

Stu, I am interested in listening to the coral mids and tweeters both and would have loved to visit if not for the lockdown. Do you have any classical that you can play, violin as well as arias?

It’s not a genre I have much of

Iii put some lps in a pic and let me know if you want me to record any of them

The system is different , but speakers are the same

That’s the spirit :+1:

Is this what you were after?

It’s fair to say analogue sound struggles to translate via phone cam digital YouTube films. With that said you can often hear ‘potential’ or get an inkling of what may be positive. In the real world it’s sometimes fun to go the other way. Put an interesting speaker in a terrible room with a terrible source to hear ‘potential’. (We do this with turntables as part of testing, worst plinth possible, offers some useful insights)

This seven year old film was shot in a large open photographic studio, using a £20 T-Amp, twisted wire connections, Iphone MP3 source into a 15" Tannoy Silver in it’s original corner GRF cab, (Un-serviced original xover) shot with a low bit rate outdated camcorder very near field. To my ears pretty much everything goes against it, yet some potential is apparent.
