Hi Paul,Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer!
In the filter RCA-fan simulated for me, there is actually a notch filter to dampen a peak around 6 kHz of the tweeter, and this clearly helped, although it did not remove the sibilance all together.
I have also tried the "towel approach" at the mouth, but this did not make any difference as far as I can tell.
I can maybe smooth out the transition to some extent, but I can not get rid of the "tube" section of the horn. So now I wonder whether I should try a different horn in which the throat is better constructed and see whether this brings better results. (There is a large 200 Hz German horn [Jabo KH-72] of the salad-bowl type that isn't too expensive, that I would really like to try.)
Once again thanks for your time!
Regards
Peter
