You are hearing it thru the AM radio over youtube.
Perhaps. While both are bandwidth limited, the coloration to which I refer is a decided hollowness in the midrange.
Indeed, there is no top end to be heard.

..If you heard it in real life which I have but not on that old Magnavox amp,the hollowness was non existent and the high end was plentiful and it wasn't colored..Of course the woofers were built into special cabinets and the horn had dampening material added in parts of the horn where ringing existed under high dynamics.The way we hear it in the youtube video is nothing like hearing it properly set up..I like the same type of sound you do and believe me,you would be shocked at what those old drivers are capable of..
Wood horns are much better than metal horns but you if you dampen the metal horn,it becomes a totally different animal..Even tho the freq response doesn't go out as high as a stand alone tweeter on measurement,the efficiency and the way the music is delivered allows us to hear all that human ear is capable of even it only goes out to 16khz.

Surely a live audition of a complete system would sound better.
Just for grins, here's a quick iPhone video of the garage system using a similar walk-around-it approach. :)

That Stephen's horn actually has tar in between the metal casting.
