I was one of the people who bagged on the Altec 811 metal horn in the old thread. I also heard a version of this horn that was supposedly made of tar that had an Altec label on it, and a friend of mine built us a couple of tar copies of the next size up, supposedly 500 Hz multis. My experience (with Altec drivers) was that the larger horn sounded better at 800 Hz, but not so good at 500 Hz, and the 811 metal horn basically never sounded quite right. For better or for worse, the slower opening horns are their own thing, and the multis are their own branch of that. It's expensive playing with that stuff, but that's what you have to do.
