my issue with it, though, is not the discontinuity in the curvature but rather overall dimensions.
it looks too wide to be a slot. this is a product that is supposed to work at 20+ khz and the slot is like an inch wide - which is nothing like a line source at 20 khz.
if you assume that this thing is intended to operate between 10 khz and 20 khz, which i think is a reasonable assumption, then it actually looks more like a normal horn. i mean take a regular horn designed to work from 1khz and up and make it 10 times smaller and that's more or less what it would look like.
except if that was the case then it should be used sideways, not vertically like Cessaro uses it. this really confuses me.
and as far as modifying it with a spherical horn i have the following issue with that: i don't believe in modifying products that weren't engineered right in the first place. i don't believe in fixing somebody else's mistakes. things should be done right in the first place imho.
there is always the possibility that Cessaro don't know what they're doing and simply copied the way it looks on Pioneer's page ? and that is the reason for the vertical orientation ? but that idea seems far-fetched even by my own standards
