    he he he... awesome...

    I want to know about that amp rack. It looks like the amps are built into it along with VU meters, and those are some HUGE tubes.

    Based on what? Your years of experience with horns, or just the 800x600 jpeg you saw on da' internet? What cathedral have you ever been in with horns like that?

    That looks like the opening pitch from Madmax's new rig, whenever he starts on it. Where he ends up? Probably hasn't been designed yet.

    That rig is capable of pulling 1w @ reference level. Throw that wrench into your next rig.

    I grabbed it from the VSAC 2008 GTG. Audio Circle has more information for those that are interested.

    How did you managed to get 100% WAF. That's just as jaw dropping as the speakers themselves.
