theatre horns meet extension
Full-Range Fidelity
Horn speakers do something nothing else can. The compression driver coupled to an exponential horn moves air with an efficiency that makes music physical, immediate, present. This isn't subjective - it's physics.
The tradeoff has always been bass. Horns that extend to 40Hz require cabinets the size of rooms. Most stop at 80Hz and hope you won't notice.
The Spucko Kungus pairs vintage horns and alnico drivers with Bag End subwoofers - flat to 8Hz without digital processing. The crossover uses Western Electric capacitors from the 1930s - 1940s and wire from pre-war 1940s. Each component is tested, matched, and documented.
The result: 115dB sensitivity with true full-range extension.
Compatible with amplifiers from 2 to 100 watts. Most owners use single-ended triodes in the 2 - 8 watt range.
Each pair is built around vintage parts. When the supply is exhausted, production ends.
50 pairs available. 8 built per year. Current lead time is approximately 9 months from deposit.
115dB sensitivity means a 2 - watt SET amplifier plays to concert levels. The system also handles 100 watts without compression. Most owners use 845, 300B, 2A3, or 45 tubes in the 2 - 8 watt range.
Works in rooms from 250 to 1,500+ square feet. I calibrate each installation to the space.
Every vintage component is tested and certified before installation. I maintain backup inventory. The 10-year warranty covers everything. After that, lifetime service at cost.
Each pair is serialized with comprehensive documentation. I maintain a registry and waiting list. If you sell, I'll help find a buyer. Western Electric components have appreciated 15 - 20% annually for the past decade.
A deliberate, four-step process for a serious acquisition. Each stage ensures the Spucko Kungus is the perfect fit for your space, your system, and your expectations.
