    Here's a single being demo'd with a passive network on a single amplifier channel @ 1500 feet!

    Jericho Horn J3 Debut - YouTube

    Interestingly, the name of my town used to be Jericho. I grew up with "The Olde Jericho Tavern" as a main attraction here in town. Wonder why they chose the name.

    Re: OT: One whopper of a horn

    Reminds me of the time back in the '70's while looking for speakers to spend $800 on in Minneapolis. In the back of one shop they where building a horn that must have been 8 feet by 8 feet at the mouth and something like 24 feet long for just one driver. Ok, it must have been less than 7'X7' or they wouldn't have gotten it out of the door.

    OK, i suppose 17kW power handling and 148db of continuous output is approaching biblical proportions.

    Wow ABGW! while i was loosely familiar with Jericho's biblical significance, i really had no idea there was so much literal correlation, certainly Mr Danley or someone working closely with him did.

    The military has apparently been at this for a long time. I read about experiments with high-powered plane wave tubes. I'm sure you guys have seen this already:
