What would be the issue with fabricating a new top hat to allow the installation of Dave A's horn or the K77 above the tractrix horn? If it sounds like crap to my ears nothing more than a little shop time to restore it eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not talking about Dave A's horn , we are talking of the Dave Harris Horn for the mids , now Dave Harris also has a tweeter lense that is mated to the mids horn and it fits flush into the motorboard - if you place the Dave Harris tweeter lense on top of the mids horn ala khorn , it should sound spectacular , my guess is the top hat would have to be slightly higher since the horn mouth is wider than the K400- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmusic Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Why not just use Greg's drop in replacement horns and BMS 2" drivers? Just too simple .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A comment was made about the tweeter being off center, which I also dislike, so now I AM talking about both Dave H’s mf and Dave A’s hf horns since I have both Dave A’s horn with B&C DE120 driver and K-77’s and one or the other may be a natural. I’ll look at Greg’s horn driver combo also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like the tweeter being off center do what I did, I got a pair of Fostex 90a's and centered them on top of my khorns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make a new taller motorboard for the horn lenses and new taller side pieces and braces for the tophat. The bottom and tops could be used as is.
