I have a pair of them.
Many years later Dr. Edgar discovered that maple was just too hard and switched to poplar. I never had a chance to hear them. I still would worry that poplar could start to squirm with time. The fir, if dried properly, would be very stable and much less expensive to make a horn with thick walls.
I know Dr. Edgar thought those SIERRA horns were very wrong, though they were visually stunning.
From my limited experience I cannot imagine anything sounding better than Inlow's papier mache horn for 400 hz and above. But I am a partisan.
