Cornu
Spiralhorns
While visiting the ETF 2003 i met Daniel Ciesinger, and got to listen to his spiralhorns. I immediately fell in love with them as they sounded very impressive for their size and i knew from the start this is a speaker that will please many people since it offers some true advantages compared to your everyday speaker. So all i had to do was convince Daniel to start a production and make me his partner. OK i'm not his partner but thanks to my insistance he started a company and found a woodworker and production started. I took distribution for Benelux and France.
The big Advantages of the Cornu Spiralhorns
Compact size and practicaly no floorspace is lost
Original design, fun to look and listen too.
Multi purpose suited , example home theater , high end , computer speakers , also office suitable
Fashionable and artistic, it can be covered with a silk painting and become a functional piece of decoration.
Cheap , at this budget no other speakers can really compete.
Horn loading , means less distortions as the cone moves less because its better loaded
No filter means less components in the signal path.
Apparently its very insensitive to listening position and produces excellent stereo image in half the room.
