Is there a low cost alternative to JBL 2405 slots? [message #18068]

Ideally, I'd like to add a set of 2405's to my current 2-way setup of 2235 and 2445 + DIY Smith Horns. I think the sensitivity, frequency range and directivity of the 2405 will integrate very well with the 2445 set up. However, these things are bloody expensive, even in the used market.

Are there any low-cost alternative to these tweeter? Something that'll give me 85% of the performance at 20% of the cost? I've been tweaking around with a pair of Eminence APT-80 and they sound pretty good, but dispersion is very narrow. I think these APT may be the alternative that I'm looking for, but would appreciate any recommendations.

Gar.
