Post Subject: No-nonsense Bentwood Horns from Canada.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 3/15/2010

I made a few calls to a few horn makers with a perspective to build for me a substitute for the horrible Altec 19 horn. While talking with people I was given an interesting lead about the guy that I did not know. He is a Canadian and his name is Andrew. He is not a Burger Kind type of horn-sweatshop. He built horns for himself and does it for occasional customers. He does not advertise, no involved with any groupies or interests coalitions. He is private parry who can make horns. He makes only rectangular horns and his prices are reasonable.

I have 10 min conversation with Andrew. How many times I concluded that this or that audio person was idiots juts after a few minutes of conversation? Ironically with Andrew I had absolutely no need to show of attitude as there was absolutely nothing BS, showy or just plain stupid in his wards – a very seldom quality in audio person. The guy knew exactly what I need, knew how to do it and passed as few comments that indicated that he has bra and know how to use it, also a very seldom quality among audio manufacturers. Andrew sounded relaxed and confident – a very pleasant feeling and I am kind of sorry that am not ready to proceed with my Cetla Ledom project now.

Anyhow, here is another Horns maker who is very open for custom projects. I have no idea what he does and how good what he does but the initials sentiment of mine is very positive. If I go for that 33 by 11 Cetla Ledom MF my own custom horn then I think I will recruit Andrew, but I have no decision ye it is will be THIS type of horn…
