Yes, it is exactly the replica of Klipsch Rebel horn. I did not see it before you mentioned it but you are right, it is the Rebel.

In my case, I use an unfiltered LF section from 605A for the horn and for FH  Vitavox S2 at 640Hz. I needed to go with a deeper HF horn as Vitavox S2 needs some low-pass filtration to work in a short horn. I need to admit that I am having a very surprising result that made me very much question what is going on.   The sound is marvelous, truly marvelous and I do not use this word lightly. It should be like I need to sing admirations to Rebel Horn, 605A, S2 this little room but it is much more complex than this. I have been thinking and experimenting with it a lot. I have another 3 amplifiers including my very much tested Melquiades driving the corner horns, let's call it Rebel++,  and I got garbage sound. Truly disgusting Sound. I have 2 other good Dacs taking digital out from the transport and I have not disgusting but boring sound. I have other transports, DAW, and multiple amps driving the thing, and I do not have a near-close sound compared to when I drive the thing from that super cheap table radio device. Dima and I were looking into schematics and build of that cheap table radio and it is laughable: class B, integrated IC amplifier with huge distortions.  What I am saying is that while my Rebel++ might not be so bad it is not the reason why I have such a strangely positive result. I do not know the reason and I am digging into it now.
