My dad had a chain of electronic / hi-fi stores back in the early fifties,
and as a result I grew up with the very largest (pre-Hartsfield) JBL corner
horn driven by a 25w Newcomb power amp (with umbilecal preamp). Dad was
friends with Emory Cook ("Sounds of Our Times") one of the very first
"audiophile" record labels (the AUDIOPHILE label was the other....we had
both in abundance). These records on his system sounded as real/realer than
any system I have heard since. Red Nichols and his Five Pennies playing
dixieland sounded more "in the room" than anything I have heard since, with
only a few exceptions. A really good horn system was a really good system,
period.

Harry, with this and other posts of yours, I've come away with an
admiration for your home audio experiences. Thanks for sharing them.
