At least , the nice people at the customs office (+!%+!%/=) let me have my original , non-a 2344's I bought a month ago, and Im really really happy about them. Part of this happiness comes from the way they are built, adapter + actual horn area... MODS !!
Just found this topic, had no time to read all entirely,
One of the comment entries says:
"Well, properly if to use very fine and very thin (a few mm) sheet of foam and to cover the horn very accurately then it will created the necessary boundary effect of surface randomization"

Also the 2 piece 2344 assembly would let me do my own way of compression driver mounting , additional foam covering, following the original dimensions closely, but with a "new surface" effectively.
Makes sense?
