Hi,
I plan to place a super horn tweeter on top of 4430 toimprove its performance in ultra high frequency, will it works? Probably look for Fostex ultra horn tweeter unitsas 045be is too expensive and hard to find in Ebay.
Any advice?

Try to find a used JBL 077 tweeter. A great tweeter. In my opinion, better than any Fostex tweeter.-RUDY
I've used a pair of these on a speaker pair that were down on highs

They are Fostex and sold under the Radio Shack name. Easy to
vampire in , and require no crossover change. Not too expensive
on the net.

I used them on a 1 way Walsh driver and did not find them beamy at all.
Fostex has a very good rep.
over the long life of those "super tweeters", they were produced in various countries. I'd look for the Japan ones if going that route.

I would agree that if adding a tweeter, it would be desirable to roll off the high end of horn and reduce its harshness.
Thank you Gents!!
Alright 077 & Fostex, will see, if I can find a nice pair...and a good network idea as well
Here is someone's solution for the 4435:

In the past I have used Tannoy ST-50 supertweeters on JBL S/2600 speakers. Currently using them on JBL S/3100 speakers in my office.
Careful man, there's a beverage here!
Just remember to check the polar plots on your add on tweeter and be prepared to be able to angle or tilt them towards the listening area. Probably nothing you can add will match the 2344 dispersion so the off axis is still going to be down relative to on axis. The 077 gets very beamy in the vertical axis and the 075 doesn't go high enough to matter and is way to beamy.

Thanks Rob and probably your are right....I also consult technical people of JBL and they told me 99% as you mentioned nothing you can / should add on top
