RE: Thanks. How different are the Emilar horns (really) than 811Bs?

Yeah, that's an EH-500. Way better than 511.

Not much mechanical ringing at all if you bolt them to a baffle, but the mechanical ringing is only part of the 511 problem. You can wrap them in raw meat and they still sound like they ring.

Far cleaner sound than the Altecs.

There MUST be conveniently available horns better than 511s for Altec 1" drivers.

Nobody is a bigger Altec fan than me. I have been using
Altec units for 30 years straight and I have a pr of 755As, a pr of 756Bs, two 32Bs, and five 802s within 15 feet of where I am sitting.

In fact I am listening to 802s right now, but I hate those stupid 511s. I tried them 10 times over decades, hoping they would work "this time."

Many seem to like them and I say they are lucky. I immediately dial in on a weird abrasive edge that drives me bananas.
