Like this f'rinstance: Go scrute my new/latest 'Faure' horns:

The drivers are just out the box and fitted only an hour or so ago and
they
*already* sound very **beguiling**!! (Takes weeks to get 'em browned in
properly, but they are amazing right from the off!!) My first 'custom'
design (OK, *tweaked* Fostex standard design....)

Your carpentry is definitely improving - but the cable entry? Do tell!



Hexcuse me?

I take it you are referring to the Jerichos (the Faures are the black
ones) - you tell me how you would run the cable??


Getting old, y'see. These days I can't tell a Quad from a Hinari.

See here for a glimpse of the internals:

(Note the fakkin' sawdust everywhere!!)

We *horn builders*....

pauses for effect

...like to run our cables so the drivers can be taken out in a jiffy and the
cable pulled all the way out and swapped without fuss - I can thread a new
cable through the big 'ole the front in moments! (The cable has a big knot
in it inside, so it can't pull on the driver's connector lugs! ;-)

The Faures have a standard (banana plugs &c.) terminal tray in the back,
you'll no doubt be relieved to hear, you old *conventionalist*....!!

:-)

Well thank goodness for that! Don't those drivers accept standard
speaker "spade" connectors - the small and a bit smaller ones? Got to
be a bit easier than threading wires.
