The forum members had better be close at hand when these excellent cables reach out to them.

How long is it? Serious question.

You don't have any Abba? Shocking.

Were they dogs?

For the time being, we are still using the internal combustion engine. But it's virtually unrecognisable compared to early versions because of technological improvements along the way.

LOL.

Er, yes! Where have you found someone saying that nonsense?

No idea, I just googled for some pics. More horn pics here. They do look quite a laugh. http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PageIndex=1&postID=4125#4125

Ah, OK Tony. I thought you were talking about the modern confections. We've missed a trick in this thread, hardly any pictures of outrageous horns.

Clearly, you are trolling. ATCs are not "an old design".

OK, that's fine. I know a pfm member who moved from the big JBLs to ATC, so preferences can vary.

I've obviously heard horn loudspeakers, equally obviously not all of them. As S-Man points out, there can be a "The train arriving at platform 3 is..." effect. I don't need to taste a poo sandwich to know I won't enjoy it.
