Well, it is a given that I am not a horn guy right now to begin with.   Of course, the "theater speakers" were and are mostly dinosaurs and/or mostly of historical/nostalgic interest.  I just want to mention some exceptional qualities I noted - incidentally - with the "hard-wired" format, namely "aliveness", "immediacy" and less of the sorts of resonances I had heard from other horns/drivers of similar design with similar separate amps.  No doubt the amps and speakers both could be done better today, and my observations were/are a long way from "controlled".  I still wonder about the hard-wired approach and what, if any, particular effects this in and of itself actually has on such sensitive and particular speakers.  I am following your progress on this front with great interest.

Best regards,
Paul S
