"On the Klipsch Community forums, the Eliptrac 400 horn gets a lot of positive discussion. It's a 2" throat tractrix design, carved out of several layers of MDF or plywood. That was my next choice after ruling out the 2380."

I'm glad to see my pushing them into making that design paid off, I'm sure it sounds fine. It will narrow in the top octave though, you may still want a tweeter.

You might want to try the larger 18 Sound elliptical horn, its expansion is largely conical and thus needs CD equalization.

I use the Beyma CP755Nd, a Mylar surround driver available in Ti or Al.

You might be able to find a used set of Adamson MH225. Designed by Geddes for Adamson, they have elliptical waveguides for the 1.5" HF and the 10" Mid-bass horns.
