Western Electric 555 +22 horn

[@biketech60]

I believe my paternal Grandfather worked for Western Electric in the 1920"s , living in New York area .

Would like to hear other types of music played over these systems. Excellent for a speaker that was originally used for early movie soundtracks!

She sounds magnificent!

[@bobsmoot8454]

Nice stereo, WE 555s are always winners especially on a great horn like the 22.

Un peu encombrant cet ensemble audio mais une belle sonorité 😊

Excellent!

[@vacuumtube1954]

Very cool ! What amp and preamp are you using ? Thanks

[@user-io9vy1fl6d]

Hello! Good mouthpiece. Great music - who is the composer, please tell me? (This is Google translation))

[@desnebula5699]

Why does this sound so much better than on speakers? What is this device and is it optimal for classical music?

[@snakeoilaudio]

LOL - you really don't know what a horn speaker is? It is not only better on classic, it is better on almost all types of music especially on Jazz, Blues or let's say older recordings that have some dynamics left in the recording. The disadvantage of horns is that you basically can't manufacture them cheaply and they need to be big, you can't build a proper horn bookshelf speaker. The speed of sound (345m) divided by the desired frequency (let's say 345hz) gives you the size in square meter ( so in this case 1m squared). That's why people don't by them anymore, but if you want real high end then that's the only way to go.

[@desnebula5699]

@@snakeoilaudio Do you think listening to classical music makes you better than other people? Insecure snob

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

Nice,the highs are natural not tinny.

[@user-io9vy1fl6d]

Здравствуйте! Хороший рупор. Прекрасная музыка - кто композитор, скажите пожалуйста?

[@speedbuggy16v]

I wish I could hear that in real life, I know my shitty speakers are not doing it justice.

Line Magnetic

[@seanhawley5367]

Are those Line Magnetic reproduction horns

[@charliedeluca5756]

They look it to me...

[@sugizotakuro]

you should place the mic between infront of those pairs. my opinion

[@paolo60333]

But why you din't show your electronics driving these horns? They play pretty good but the music that is flowing from this kind of speakers is always boxed. Not my cup of tea.

[@thomosburn8740]

Can someone tell me the record or composition?

[@actqhp]

La Musica Notturna delle Strade di Madrid by Luigi Boccherini.
