Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Waveguides

Waveguide is often used as a euphemism for horn, the dreaded "h word". Makes for better marketing given the prejudice many audiophiles have against horns.

The Tannoys use the woofer cone as the treble horn, so do other coaxials such as the Radians and Beymas. I suspect the KEF LS 50 is horn loaded in the treble.

Late in his career Holt was fond of Tannoys, large studio monitors as I recall. I think he owned some and used them at home.
