I've only owned a pair of 2-way Opera Consonance M12s (1" compression driver + 12" in ported bass bin) which I converted into a 3-way.
I have heard them at a few shows, they look like a lot of speaker for the money, did you add a super tweeter?
Have to come hear those sometime!!!
Typical. Lots of theory and measurements, but very little experience of the real thing.
For the record I have owned the following since 1992:
1 pair of original Voigt Corner horns made in 1938 - still own.
2 pairs of Avantgarde Duos
2 pairs of Avantgarde Duo Omegas - still own one pair of G2's.
2 pairs of Avantgarde Solos
2 pairs of Avantgarde Trios
1 pair of Cessaro Liszt - still own
1 pair of Klipsch Cornwall IV - still own
These are just the horns I have owned. I have installed Avantgarde speakers in over 50 locations. I have also experience of Avantgarde Uno, Avantgarde Uno Fino, Avantgarde Mezzo Duo, Avantgarde Bass horn, Cessaro Alpha, Cessaro Beta, Cessaro Beethoven, Cessaro Wagner, Klipschorn, Nottingham Analogue horn, Living Voice Tone Scout. I have also owned all types of other Hi-Fi speakers from Magneplaner, QUAD electrostatics, Martin Logan, Apogee, Proac, Rogers, JBL, Posselt and many more, so I think I have a pretty good level of experience of all speakers including all types of horns...
@Si74 - Which horns do you have may I ask?
And yet you know nothing about horns... Typical.

I've heard these speakers at one of our audio talk meets, about 10 or 12 years ago.From the original sellers post:
"
Designed by resident speaker guru Scottmoose and built by our very own master craftsman Colin Topps for sale are my Sachiko with Fostex 208 and super tweeter.
To ensure continued domestic harmony I need to get something smaller. If you have a big room then nothing, I repeat nothing, will move air like these do! As you'd expect from a quality driver like the 208 there's no shortage of finesse and detail either; they can literally make your hair stand on end and at > 96 db efficient they are great with anything class A or even low powered valve stuff.
Built from executive grade cherry pre-veneered baltic birch ply sheets and biscuit jointed for extra strength these are one solid set of cabs, no resonating panels here, they weigh in at 70kg each and are 6ft tall, L-pads and quality binding posts on the rear.
Included are Fostex 208 drivers and FT17H super tweeters."
He was shocked how small my room was. I was shocked at the sound (negatively) then thinking about it, these had been run with a flea powered 3watt valved amp built on a breadboard, hence I decided the Fostex were not even run in and would improve and boy did they, last speakers I'll ever need.
What he doesn't say is these are way bigger than the original design Sachiko Double Mouth horns with far superior drive units.

I am not a speaker designer, but I know the basics of horn design and enough to know what is required amplifier and system wise to get the very best from the technology. Much like most of the top racing drivers don’t know the intricacies of engine design, but that doesn’t stop them from winning races…
To demonstrate your expertise you just need to post diagrams and pictures. The mark of a true expert. Oh, and be really cocksure and rude as well. That always helps and is really impressive.
I think you'll find horns are still used extensively in cinemas.
