    Thanks to all of you guys!!

    Have now ordered D8R2450SL aquaplas
    Understanding 99bucks is cheap!

    Gibber was a little to late, else maybe would have tried 16ohm..?
    Since I'm having active XO it would function.

    Best

    Sorry for that, we don't get up early on Saturdays here in O'fest-Central
    But you can try to write in to change your order, perhaps ?
    I believe JeffW is at least affiliated to the seller he linked to

    No need for sorry gibber!
    Think I'll go for the 8ohm first, else I need new L-Pad and protect cap.

    Use L-Pad instead of minidsp for level down horn because of noise from cheap dsp

    Sorry Jeff,

    for conveying the wrong impression to OKS
    Anyways, the price is fantastic for the 8 ohms even more so than for the sixteen

    Will take 8ohm and go from there.Maybe 16ohm sound in your way better because of amp/driver combo?

    No idea why, just an observation.
    Let us know how it turns out on your 2360s. Talking of them, which version of the horn do you have?

    There are four i know of (and perhaps some more i did never see) :
    2360 (throat ends in fibreglass horn bell, hence visible from front)
    2360A (1st ver) thick black cast throat with 2360A label in fibreglass horn bell
    2360A (2nd ver) thinner but arguably a little more precise grey cast with 2360T sticker, 2360H sticker on fibreglass horn bell
    2360B vertically-cut two-piece precision-molded plastic throat, two-piece vertically cut horn bell of same "auto-dashboard" plastic

    Hey OKS, that's a 2360A, if it says 2360T on the metal throat, then it's 2360A 2nd ver.
    But the rounded appearance of the throats and dark colour lets me think it likely is 2360A 1st version.

    Doesn't matter; both sound the same and both can have issues at the transition from metal throat to fiberglass horn bell.
    These issues can sometimes be ameliorated by carefully pushing the bell into place before fastening the screws.

    Here's a pic of the original 2360 courtesy of buddy Alex who has this "vintage" pair (while Alex could indicate a female the legs are not his):

    Yes it does, but it mostly sounds better the way OKS posted, see my earlier picture with driver through the wall.

    Having the slot horizontal, as in Don Keele did in his earlier (otherwise not very dissimilar HR9040 horn) sounds better if you are mostly at same height (i.e. seated) and especially if others at same height are sitting along the horizontal radiation pattern.

    Not a big difference, but in the same league as the 8 vs 16 ohms earlier. Need to take care of floor reflection if no carpet.

    Ok! Thnx for info!
    There is no number on throat si its probably 2360A.

    Just have to ask

    How about D16R2482 phenolic diaphragm?
    Know it will need tweeter from 5kHz, but how does it sound?
    Or better to go metal diaphragm?
