The horn redesign was for aesthetics, if you can believe that. The 4400 series biradial monitors have never sold well in Japan because they were associated with a part of the female anatomy(and not the more common "butt-cheeks" inference as in the US). It was considered vulgar to incorporate this into a commercial product. Therefore, JBL decided to redesign the MKII horn to eliminate this visual connotation since it was specifically intended for the Japanese market.
