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

There are Emilar 800hz horns aside from the bowtie.

I had a pair branded "Rauland" who used Emilar as a supplier. Just traded them towards a Gates table.

They can be distinguished from R-H by the greater thickness of the casting and a few other identifying features. The Renkus expos are decent too.

R-H made many constant directivity horns which seem nice, but CD isn't my thing for home listening. They were clean sounding however. Nice.

After leaving Altec, Renkus got rid of the throat disjunction that apparently causes some of the anomalies of the 511. In fact, most Emilar and Renkus horns don't actually have a throat per se...and the drivers were very thin so not much throat in the driver either.

The 500 hz horns pictured have the 2"->1" adapter, so they have a "throat," but it is a very smooth expansion. With 2" Emilar or Renkus drivers, you have a clear line of sight to the diaphragm from anywhere within the coverage angle of the horn.
