Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

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

Headbang is the best use for the 511s. Good Death Metal horn.

Also possibly great for an outdoor poolside system, which is a kind of job this sort of horn was designed to do.

Try the Emilar. Way more sophisticated sound than the Altec.

I don't like to cross at 500hz, preferring to use cones that can get me to 2 or 3k whenever possible, so I don't break up the heart of the vocal range.

An Altec 15" can't, so maybe 800 or 1200 xover by default.

Also, I sense that many 500hz horns are starting to run out of steam at or near that spec and offer little loading with a 500hz second order crossover. Certainly, the 511 is guilty if the measurements above are to be believed.
