In the first picture there you can see even bigger horns, just off to the left and right.

 

The last pic is a classic photo of the Intonarumori invented by Russolo. They aren't speakers, they're instruments. Move the handles (seen on some of them) and make rumbles, groans, fingernails-on-blackboard screeches, and so on. "He designed and constructed a number of noise-generating devices called Intonarumori and assembled a noise orchestra to perform with them. A performance of his Gran Concerto Futuristico (1917) was met with strong disapproval and violence from the audience, as Russolo himself had predicted." The Futurists were, in a way, the trolls of the arts world, deliberately picking fights on grounds that the general public was too stupid and complacent to understand them. There's been new interest in Intonarumori in recent years and people have been building them based on plans and descriptions. Check YouTube.

Haha, I love this one! I wonder if it was carved from a single solid piece... (not likely, but awesome if it were)

Hmm, and nowadays we've got people hanging rotting animal carcasses from trees and calling it art.
