I have read that many with vintage Heritage speakers with metal horns experience "horn ring." I have had my Cornwalls playing at concert levels, albeit briefly, and I'm not sure if my horns were ringing or not? Is it an obvious sound, subtle, or??? Just...

But i saw in another thread that:

Can I wear it all though my hair is still damp? Or will the horn damage?

Okay - I'll pull it out and substitute it with something else Nope, horn....

Sounds like you've they're trying to diffuse a shell.....
I pulled the right fuse for the horn and am able to drive it now.

As soon as it is started the horn starts blaring.
