Re: Searching for a Parabolic speaker
Hi Jamil,
these ones can be frightfully expensibe so I was wondering if anyone might have one lying around or has researched and found a cheaper, effective alternative or if indeeed I need to purchase a new, more expensive type. Even, I believe some people may have had some success with making their own.
Regards
Vic

Re: Searching for a Parabolic speaker
I have a parabolic dome and speaker setup that Graham Thirkell and I did as a joint installation project.
I also have the mould for reproduction.
