To get a grasp of where I’m am going with this thread you need to of read or have read this article.
https://www.stereophile.com/content/gramophone-dreams-34-salt-cellar-system
If you go no further at the least it is in interesting read. Some will go “meh” others will take it on board to search for better reproduction. Maybe even build there own SC. The challenge I have given myself and would like to throwout to others is can you build or hobble together a “Salt Cellar“ (SC) system. The core of a SC system is purity of sound, dynamics and immediacy.
These are the constrains/opportunities I’m am pursuing;
a monaural system high efficiency speakers - horns where possible a tube low power Class A mono power amp or even tube integrated amp vintage tubes mono vinyl phono playback from mono cart or mono wired phono stage ultra short non shielded interconnects and speaker leads of Silver plated wire wrap wire ?
Ive been tossing this temp system around since I read that article and now have (in my head) a whole SC system. So cutting to the chase I’m going to build a mono integrated wine box tube amp based on some vintage 807 and RCA 6SN7. Half the 6SN7 will be a single stage preamp and the other half the driver for a Suncalc designed 807 amp.
Speakers will be my Beyma 12” concentrics with a Altec 511B horn and FatalPro driver. The horns will handle mid-range and the tweeter in the horns super tweeters. Overall efficiency about 98db.
Im current working three other projects but now taken on a forth for a true SC system. Any other takers out there.

Item: Azurahorn Ah-160 Midbass horns
Location: Melbourne
Price: $550 negotiable
Item Condition: Good for age.
Reason for selling: Taking up huge amounts of space. Present audio room is way to small for these
Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, COD Only
Extra Info:
Up for sale is my Azura Ah-160 mid bass horns. These mid bass horns have given me the best lower midrange through mid bass I have heard. The fibreglass horns resonated quite a bit when i first got them so over a couple of years i put layer after layer of bitumen on them which improved the sound hugely (I got that idea from Goto with they're midrange and mid bass horns). It took forever for the bitumen to dry hence the huge amount of application time.
They retail for $1200 new and then you have to pay the shipping, put on mounting plates, a rear chamber and ideally damp the mid bass and then paint them. This has all been done ready to bolt the drivers in. They are cut to a 4 inch throat to suit a 8 inch driver (same compression ratio and driver type as Avantgarde use in the Trio. I have built a system that allows you to change the compression chamber size at the back of the horn.
If you wished to use them with a different sized driver (like a Western Electric style 555 compression driver or larger) you could get Azurahorn to sell you a extension piece.
Some people on the net have used these horns with the Avantgarde Duo for huge improvements to the sound (and near Avantgarde Trio sound).
They take up a huge amount of space (they are almost one metre in diameter so they just fit through a doorway).
They were originally gold in colour (using various metal powders and wax) but are presently in a more discreet Charcoal chalky type finish. The rim needs a little touch up due to being in the garage a couple of years (I have more of the spray paint so can do this if required).
Useable response (depending on driver and position) is 60 hz (shoved hard into room corners) through to about 100 - 140 hz or so in free space. I was crossing these over at 700-900 hz but many recommend using them to about 1100 hz.
I have some 8 inch Coral drivers I can provide cheap with these if needed. I was using the Corals with these before switching to the Fane as used by Romy the Cat in his Upgraded Avantgarde Trio Midbass horns. The Corals sound excellent in this mid bass horn. Almost as good as the Fane but less efficient.
The Fane drivers have been sold and are not available.
Local pickup strongly preferred due to the obvious size and weight issues. Otherwise you would have to arrange your own shipping.
Priced them cheap for a quick sale.
