Reference Horn System

theatre horns meet extension
Full-Range Fidelity

The Premise: Physics Not Philosophy

Compression drivers coupled to exponential horns move air with an efficiency that makes music physical, full of weight, and holographic.

Spucko Kungus pairs vintage horns and compression drivers with Bag End woofers. The crossover uses Western Electric capacitors and multi-stranded tinned copper wire, both from the 1930s–1950s.

The result: 115 dB sensitivity with true full-range extension.

Components

Each pair is built around vintage parts.

1930s–1950s
Western Electric capacitors
Paper-in-oil capacitors from American telephony's golden age. Individually tested and matched.
1930s–1950s
Western Electric wire
Multi-stranded tinned copper (increases conductivity). Slow-drawn, so the wire forms a large, smooth crystal structure.
1960s–1980s
YL Acoustic horns and drivers
Exponential profiles with hard-duralumin diaphragm domes, driven by a nickel-cobalt steel magnet with Permendur in the gap for high flux density.
2000s
Bag End subwoofers
Flat to 8 Hz without digital processing.
