Folks;

I have been searching for a horn flare for a "Special" Theater 4 Pi set of cabinets I picked up from a colleague. They came as cabinets only, and I am in the market for some flares. I came across the following at PartsExpress:

Horn Lens 16-1/2" x 6-1/4" x 9-1/2"
Part Number 260-095
Brand: Parts Express
Price: $10.95 each

http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=270-099&ctab=1

Molded plastic horn lens features a wide dispersion angle. Standard 1-3/8"-18 TPI can be used with most threaded drivers. Net weight: 1 lb.

Well, the price is right, and most importantly the H/W dimensions coincide with the baffle cutout. However, I am concerned about the geometry (dispersion pattern, throat length and threaded connection to PSD2002) and build quality.

Any comments?

thanks
Hakn

It would appear to be suitable; Give it a try and let us know how it works out. You certainly can't get hurt at that price.

I've got a few 1" flares you can try if you want. They range from a couple that look like the 270-099 up to Altec 511Bs.
