I made a conical horn to replace the B&C ME20 horn and the improvement was well worth while. I think conical is the way to go for hifi use. It doesn't have any 'horn' sound and provides a flat response up to 45 degrees off axis. Make sure you radius the baffle and transition nicely on the horn exit. I would avoid a round conical horn in open space as this focuses too much boost at one frequency due to edge diffraction. Mounted to a square baffle will give you a smoother frequency response. Also, pay special attention to the compression driver itself, noticing the geometry coming out the unit and making sure your horn matches with no abrupt changes in horn profile. Using digital EQ you can compensate for any loss in output near the cutoff.
