Re: Alternatives to the Altec 811 horn

This is interesting. I too am planning new cabinets for the 9844A monitors that I own. These speakers also use the 811 horns. While I have always found the performance of these speakers to be superb, it appears that there is some performance being left "on the table" with the 811's? Could anyone elaborate on the gains obtained by switching out the 811's. Some of the alternatives mentioned consist of a shorter horn than the 811's, which would get the H.F. drivers voice coil in closer vertical alignment with the woofers V.C., and I have heard that this is desired for reducing phase differences.
