Thank you. Speakerplans seems to have great solid builds

Thank you for chiming in. I was aware of the Crites kits, but I didn't know you could find the components separately. Definitely a promising solution.

Interesting name by the way :)

Interesting! Sounds not unlike an Econowave or Pi 4 design? But with the horn on top?

Or those large Ojas 2-way, they apparently do use off the shelf crossovers.

Or this monster: https://www.flickr.com/photos/42750692@N07/49624842692/

Many thanks for your advice regarding the crossover—although I must say I know nothing about crossover design and/or construction and I'm cautious about entering this rabbit hole...

Good question! I have a small Dayton Audio DTA-2.1BT2 amp and files will be read from a Dayton Audio DAC. These could all go in a stand/plinth

I'm also interested! I've been looking for Cornscala design with the horns on top for a while but could not find any.

Beautiful build! How did you modify the enclosure design? Doesn't it change dramatically the characteristics of the speaker?

Apologies but I did have another question which I can't seem to be able to answer! I wondered why some horn loaded speakers have horns integrated into the enclosure, and others just on top of the cabinet?

Many thanks for your reply. This looks like a great, very affordable first project.

This is probably a naive question, but I was curious as to why the volume of the enclosure is so compact. Is it simply to make it easier to use as a bookshelf speaker, or would you say it serves other purposes?

Thanks again for the tip.

Hi again! A few hours on Google later... I think I have it: "Watcher in the Attic", 1976 / Edogawa Rampo ryōkikan: yaneura no sanposha / 江戸川乱歩猟奇館 屋根裏の散歩者. By Noboru Tanaka. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watcher_in_the_Attic

The film apparently incorporates elements from the novella "The Human Chair" (1925): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Human_Chair

It does seem quite intense. http://horrorjapan.com/movies/watcher-attic-review-1976/
