Silbatone made a Demo with those Horns (the big ones)

They said, it is one of three existing WE Horns, made 1935/36 (only mod is the addition of the tweeter you can see there). One Horn is made for 3500 Visitors, so we got a 7000 People Demo with them. Driven with a 300B amp from Silbatone. The smile factor from the visitors was big, but most didn't know how to handle that experience (the rest of the High End Systems produced Head ache but most did like that, you know, review winners, Class A++ ratings, pics in mags ..). An american guy came from the back and shouted "That's real music !" and went to the back again. His name was Robarts or so. A lot of german DIY guys were around also, they hugged each other and looked VERY important (this "we know more than you view"...). Maybe it was their holy grail meeting point....
I asked about the price when someone is interested to go for those. They smiled.
But they offer copies with refurbished drivers (when I understood it right, my Korean / English is not really up to date), their smallest model (it is the one above in the first post from Romy I think) starts at 145.000,-- Euros ( $ 190.000,--)....
That made the Magico's, Ypsilon, Avant-Gardes, NOLAs etc. really cheap :-)

Anyway, the woodwork can't be so expensive, are these Drivers really so outstanding expensive??they had a few to show but always with 2 bodyguards left and right of them...
