There is guy in Austria that makes horns speakers. I have mentioned him a few years back at that time it was not a lot of interesting, at least in Web presence. Nowadays David has developed a product that I feel is worth critical acclaim and looking into his direction with some analyses:  The Alphahorn loudspeaker.

I never heard the Alphahorn, here is guy who did:

What attracted me to write about the Alphahorn ideas is David Haigner’s personal notes about his design concepts. In contrary to insulting and in most cases ignorant BS that most of manufacturers write as their “concepts notes” Mr. Haigner does make a lot of sense in his notes.

I do relate to quite few aspects of the notes and of cause there are some moments that I disagree.  David wrote:

As our big horn systems are quite heavy, managing reviews is not that easy.

I am not planning to write another “audio review” and I would let others to scream “It was the best speaker I ever heard!” and to proclaim the unavoidably-stupid “Now I am listening the music”. However, I am planning to review the David Haigner’s design ideas and talk about the moments where I feel some “skeletons” shall be exposed, or at least named.  If David was craving for a review then he is lucky as it will be more meaningful then Alphahorn will ever see.

If anybody had any experience with Alphahorn then feel free to share it in the thread.  From my side I will compile some of my thoughts during the coming week.
