Anyone here ever tried EV HP640 horns for home use? Any idea how they would sound. No response over at hi efficiency forum so I thought I would ask here.

Hi Dan!

Sorry, but I have no experience with them. I don't even know their shape or configuration. What are they like?

I have two of these horns with DH1A drivers. I used
them in my van in 1987, see pic. (today the van is history).
My can was pretty medieval looking and the sound was
menacing. Sounding like a concert on wheels, very clean sonics
and loud!

Last halloween, I took one horn/driver and placed it in the
garage and I broadcasted spooky sounds to scare the little
ones trick or treating, people said they heard the screams
a few blocks away, more people came to my house to check it
out.

They are "fun" horns. hehe

If you want to use there in your home, it would work great
if you had a large listening room, perhaps a listening room
the size of a sports arena - hehe

60x40 constant directivity horns with a two inch throat. About 21"x13"x12". Provides loading down to 400 hz. Fairly uniform horizontal directivity from 500 hz up; vertical from 1200 up. See following:

I know where some are going to come out of a church, but don't know if they have a home yet. I hate to think of them being all alone in the cold...
