I'd suggest the Eminence H290 or Bill Martinelli's 12" wood horn.Another great option is Martinelli's 17" horn. Since it's a little larger, it can be used at a lower frequency. It will work just as well up high and looks very attractive with the Professional Series seven π speaker because the width of the horn matches the width of the cabinet. Stage Series seven π loudspeaker at MAF 2003 The speaker shown above is a Stage Series seven π loudspeaker in the hotel room at the Midwest Audiofest. The Professional Series seven π uses the same size cabinet, so they look the same.

Thanks Wayne, Is there any plan for Martinelli 17" horn ? I also looked at this interesting site: http://vincent.brient.free.fr/pav_ronds.htm describing relatively easy way to construct round horn...looks interesting. Another Q: how important is sonic difference between stock eminence plastic horn and good dessigned wood horn ? thanks, v

There are step-by-step instructions on his site (woodhorn,com) showing how he builds them. If you're highly skilled and have the right gear, have at it. Having read through the DIY page, I'd rather let the master craftsman do it. But that's just me. Keep your ears and your mind open.
