I was away at the 15th annual Meadows Celtic Festival and Highland Games this weekend,
and when I returned, my neighbor said a large box had arrive for me ...
He brought it over last night via handtruck and when I opened it,
I found a beautiful pair of wooden smith horns from John W of Washington (thanks John!).
Hooked just one up last night, but we were all piped out and headed shortly to bed.
But I'm off today to recover from the travelling and the meat pies and the whiskey (just kidding) ...
Its a bit early in the morning to crank the system for a proper listen, but they sound great so far -
more info when I have it. And yes, I'll put a nice wood spacer under the front,
instead of the pink foam that I used with the 2397 grey horns.
By the way, if all goes well (and I expect it will),
the grey JBL 2397 horns will be for sale shortly!

Hi, Heather,
I say again, "WOW"!! John "did them proud, INDEED!! I showed your new horns to Sweet Bride, and she was mightily impressed! I guess I will HAVE to hook up those 2397's, and then, "go from there...."! Thanks, again, for sharing your new horns, and congrats on scoring them. Take care, and God Bless!

Way cool.
Don't be so quick to be so smug, Mr. "Altec Best".
Even Wikipedia takes issue with your assumptions:
Horn Loudspeakers
Radial, sectoral and diffraction
Altec sectoral horns were radial horns with vanes placed in the mouth of the horn for the stated purpose of pattern control. For ease in mounting to loudspeaker cabinets, flat front radial horns have been used, for instance by Community in their SQ 90 high-frequency horn. JBL's diffraction or "Smith" horn was a variation on the radial design, using a very small vertical dimension at the mouth as a method of avoiding the mid-range horizontal beaming of radial horns that have a larger vertical dimension at the mouth. The diffraction horn has been popular in monitor designs and for near-field public address applications which benefit from its wide horizontal dispersion pattern. Counter-intuitively, the narrow vertical dimension provided for an expansive vertical output pattern approaching 90° for frequencies of a wavelength equal to the narrow vertical dimension. A very small version of the diffraction horn was designed in 1991 into the JBL model 2405H Ultra-High Frequency Transducer, yielding a 90° x 35° output pattern at 20 kHz.
". . . as you have no doubt noticed, no one told the 4345 that it can't work correctly so it does anyway."—Greg Timbers
I think they look great HJ ....you know abt me & beautiful wood ....I'd display 'em even if if there was no horn to attach them to ....
We need to hear abt your listening impressions
(hope no one makes those in L7 black ash)
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
