    Wink Altecs as art?

    Form follows function?

    Modern Abstract sculpture?

    or more likely...

    Where the hell am I going to put all these big bloody horns to maximize my mancave space?

    I started piling them up and thought they kinda looked like something you might find in the MMA or something....:snickerpup:.

    They do add a certain something to my mancave.:2thumbsup:

    That is quite a lovely sculpture there. Not you just need to get it all running to hear how it sounds!

    It looks like we have a frustrated modern artist on our hands.

    The Cubists would have loved it. ;-)

    I'm thinking the inspiration for this art could be smelled wafting thru the air, or was encapsulated in dark amber glass.:snickerpup:

    I wouldn't mind like a pair of 1003B multi-cell horns.

    Those things are nearly 3' wide, and 2' high, and weigh in at 32lbs each.

    Way too cool.
