It's hard to say much about custom audio gear makers Specimen's Little Horn speakers, other than that they're big horns. Each speaker consists of a 36-inch-tall fiberglass horn mounted on an 8-inch plywood cube. Almost four feet tall isn't exactly 'little' by any definition.

For big stereo speakers, the Little Horns are scant power nibblers, and can pump out sound while consuming only 10 watts each. The horns themselves are just very large resonators, and the actual speaker drivers are built into the cube-shaped base. Since they're custom speakers, the Little Horns are available with a variety of Fostex full-range drivers.

At $1,500 a pair, Specimen's Little Horns aren't the cheapest stereo speakers available. On the other hand, their price tag is downright skimpy compared to other large tower stereo speakers. You can order the speakers from Specimen's web site.
