Seven or eight years ago when I was still getting TAS, they ran a short article about a rich audiophile in the SF Bay area who had bought a warehouse and fixed it up and installed a prototype full horn system - I mean with a bass horn that was a horn, not a woofer. From the picture they ran it was simply enormous. Does anyone remember that article? The article was the typical puff piece so it was not easy to figure out the technical issues from it. But it was impressive looking. Obviously I got no idea how it really sounded. Never heard anything more about it.

I do not know what it was.  I do not get TAS since 2095 and I just buy it one a year at newsstand as a toilet reading. I do not know who that “rich audiophile in the SF Bay area” and what he was trying to accomplish but I absolutely assure you that he was “lightweight” and that sound that he was building was garbage. How can I be so arrogantly confident? Because TAS was involved. They would not write about any sonic endeavor without industry sale whores be involved into the project and if they did then the result is highly predictable. I also very much assure that all listening rooms that TAS ever mentioned all sound the same.
