An exponential multi -flare horn system of unusual quality. The base
horn (30-150 cycles) has an equivalent axial length of 15 feet. Two
eight inch speakers placed on each side of cabinet with phase shift network
for simulated three dimensional effect produce 150- to 2000 cycles.
High frequencies (2000 - 16,000 cycles) have axial horn length of 32
inches. The feeling of a large sound source is created by the nonresonant
bass horn and electrical phase shift network. The clarity and
smoothness are the result of unique phasing chambers and heavy air
loading of the diaphragms. Capacity: 25 watts. Impedance: 16 ohms.
Available in Blonde Korina, Walnut, Red Mahogany and Ebony. Three
coats of lacquer hand rubbed to a lustrous finish. Satin finished brass
legs. 36 x 24 x 16 inches. Weight: 60 lbs.

We have harped in this column and
elsewhere, again and again, on the
advantages of a good FM antenna installation.
Not long ago, we harped
once more, at Philadelphian C. J.
Elliott. Here's his story, from a letter
he wrote us recently:
"... The recommendation to use the
best available outside FM antenna was
the difference between no reception
and amazing reception. The first
week -end I had the equipment in the
Harrisburg apartment, the only antenna
was the standard Soo -ohm built -in
affair that comes with the ... tuner
that we had selected. I had purchased
from Danby an eight -element broadband
Yagi but had not had the oppor-
tunity to put it up. With the built -in
antenna we got nothing but a few
local and near -by FM stations and then
only by using considerable power and
accepting considerable noise along
with the reception. Since Harrisburg
is a notoriously difficult area for all
types of radio and TV reception, because
of the surrounding mountainous
terrain, I was not at all surprised. The
following week -end I was able to get
the FM Yagi up by simply adding it
to our existing TV mast but using a
separate lead -in which consisted of
standard, fiat Soo -ohm wire of approximately
90 feet from mast to set.
(TV mast is on the roof of an eight -
story apartment house and our apartment
is on the fourth floor.) We do
not have a rotator and I pointed the
Yagi toward Allentown, approximately
8o air miles away, in the hope of receiving
their 'good music' station
which rebroadcasts the New York
WQXR afternoon and evening programs.
To my amazement, we received
this station perfectly with just a touch
of the volume turned on; no fading,
no drifting, no noise of any kind. To
my further amazement we also discovered
that we could receive the same
kind of perfect reception from good
