    To misquote Giskard, "They should be pointed away from the listening position."

    Well, I'm not sure I get that Mr.Wiget.. are you being funny or what ? Cause, as far as know, that is not correct... .unless of course there is something I don't know ?? Which is highly possible these days!

    If you mean the vertical slots in the yellow horns then they are in fact positioned correctly, just like the 2405/077 slot radiators.

    Yes it was an attempt at humor. I wouldn't want to look at those horns.

    As far as orientation, yes as John pointed out, the slot should be vertical as in the 2344 (4430/4435).

    No, what I meant is that if they are a Constant Directivity horn then they should 'fire' towards the listening position ala the Everest or the S/3100/2600. That flair is asymmetrical, in case you didn't notice. What did you think.. they should be aimed at the ceiling maybe ???

    They could be toed in a bit. I wouldn't want to use them in such a small room anyway. They really are meant for 1000 seat theaters.

    I hope you guys are being obtuse just for fun..... what I mean is this : Exchange the right horn for the left and vis versa and you will have what I believe to be the proper set-up.. nes pa?

    Hi Bernhard,

    I understand now what you mean........the horns are symetrical in reality.....only the picture or the sight shows some non linearity.....

    Please help us save more info about the vintage systems. Let us register your speakers and drivers.

    The system is composed of a 15 inch in bass reflex cab, then a JBL 2360A with the 2446 driver and a 2402 tweeter.... That's all I know.

    Soorry Guys, but the horns seems to be correctly mounted !!!!!

    Exclamation

    That room looks very bright... and I don't mean because the horns are yellow. Hard walls, hard floors, lots of glass; tall, somewhat narrow room, whew! Maybe the horns are aimed that way for a reason: so as to not strike the listener deaf or even dead.

    As for the appearance, we have a word around here: fugly.

    The only thing worse looking would be if my picture were on the wall.

    Talk about shiny, reflective surfaces!
