Maybe the upper midrange horn became like a paper cone speaker. Best sound I ever made, and it looks like this.
It had the same ring to it as the magical SABA fullrange speakers - made of paper.

But below 500Hz, I must use solid wood. The Fanes are the most detailed midbass speakers I have heard without a horn, but with the paper horn the detail was gone. I hope it was not the horns fault, because then I am left only with a compression driver in a Goto S-150, or in a near future - a Satohorn. I felt an urge while listening, to bring out the sizzor and cut away the the 4" throat until it was more like 6". That would have sounded more open, but would probably have screwed up the hornloading. Then suddenly I got used to it, and I forgot the clear sound of the Goto horn, and just enjoyed hours of music.
