RE: If you were to start from scratch, what horn system would you build?

Chris, If you like rock , pop , jazz- 511B and 811B with 15" will be OK not great but you won't find better for electric guitar and presence and if the woofer is by any chance altec 416, copying Altec 19 with it's crossover is the best way to go with a chance to fully recoup your investment when you'll be ready to move on and a respectable performer overall. Unfortunatelly for classical and more demanding music it is less attractive proposition. I helped my friend with similar setup consisting 511B with 806 and altec 411-8A woofers with default Altec 500hz crossover. Its terribly colored but I'll be damned if I heard so much presence on guitars and vocals of rock band from "neutral " trax horns. I made for him altec default correction circuit but he prefers it rough ;)
