"Any chance you have auditioned the Klipsch K402? "

I would say YES to that only IF that is the horn on the top of the Jubilee? It's been quite a while since I listened to the (domestic version) Jubilee, but I remember the mids were fine, the ultra highs chopped off, and the bass sounded just like a folded bass horn sounds.

Other big horns i have listened to:
1) The Sierra/Brooks (huge) tractrix 140's loaded with EV DH1a's, which sound wonderful, save for the extreme highs (above 15k rolls off)
2) The ORIS 150's loaded with Lowther DX-3's which i thought was the most amazing sound from 220 hertz ALL the way up.

I do believe that ROUND tractrix horns are better suited for operation from where ever they are crossed to "all the way up"
vs. 90x40 horns which are better suited for multi-way operation which is how it is in my situation. i.e. I use a tweeter

If you search this: Electrovoice HR9040 horn/DH1012 Score!!!
you might, just might find a willing seller, he claims to have 3 pairs
of the HR9040's
