                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
          This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134                      
          from the examiner’s rejection of claims 1-11, which constitute              
          all the claims in the application.                                          
          The disclosed invention pertains to a speaker system for                    
          improving the sound quality emanating from a speaker.                       
          Specifically, a sound wave amplifying horn is coupled to the                
          speaker for collecting and amplifying only a portion of the sound           
          waves which radiate from the rear of the speaker frame.
