About the Hornshoppe Horns
The Hornshoppe Horns are tall, slender, rectangular speakers measuring approximately 76 cm by 29 cm by 15 cm, featuring a single 4-inch full-range driver mounted high on the front baffle. The rear of the cabinet acts as a folded horn mouth, designed to be placed in room corners to use the room as an extension of the horn for bass enhancement. They deliver clear, quick, and lively sound with excellent timing and tonal balance, excelling in acoustical music, vocals, and jazz. Bass extension is limited by the small driver size, with usable response down to about 60-70 Hz when corner loaded, and a maximum output around 100 dB at 5 watts input. The speakers have a built-in limitation in dynamic range at higher volumes due to driver excursion limits. They are highly efficient and can be driven well by low-power amplifiers such as SET or JFET types. The Horns integrate well with the Hornline powered subwoofer for extended bass down to about 30 Hz. They are appreciated for their musicality, speed, and ability to maintain clarity at various volume levels, though some horn coloration is audible. The Hornshoppe Horns are handmade and have a cult following among audiophiles who value their unique design and sound characteristics.
