Hi there I can see Romy's face when he's trying to figure out Martin's time alignment strategy;0) I have Martin's 204 Hz horn with Fostex 208 E Sig. These horns are to be big to properly integrate with anything. They are OK with Fostex Lowther drive...

By "flat ended", I assume you mean how the mouths of his current 650Hz and older 300Hz horns have flat edges, rather than even more gently rounded ones? From memeory and a photo, Bruce's current 350Hz appears to be 'slightly' more rounded at the fro...
