If you are talking about casting the radial aluminum horns in the 9500 series, like the 9595 or 9594 90degree and 60 degree horns, I wish you luck. I know the RCA engineers who worked on developing those horns, specifically A.J. May, and they always impressed upon me how difficult those were to cast. A fiberglass version of these horns was also used in the LC-9, and this also was a difficult shape to manufacture, even in fglass. These horns were not meant to go above 8-10 k, so why not just use a supertweeter? Furthermore, for a recording studio I would assume you want high quality sound, not high power handling, and none of the modern drivers which would fit these horns has the quality that the original drivers do, meaning the phenolic diaphram MI 9584 or MI 9548. Seems like you would be better off just sourcing the original parts, at least for your studio project. They are not hard to find.
Cheers,
Jonathan
