There are a few compression drivers that reach 20k+
You should also examine B&C and BMS. Both also make top notch drivers.

What kind of horn does this go on?
Follow Ups:
As Tom D. said (or at least implied!), for many of the venerable compression drivers, even extending output above 14 kHz (or 16 or 18 kHz, as the case may be) could make a big difference, so even the "limited" extension (again, it's all relative!) of the B&C DE35 is a value-add -- at least in my case: atop an EMILAR EH500-2 horn and a JBL 2441. :)
Not exactly cheap but not at all unreasonable and smooth enough for me (and I am rather picky about ear-gouging treble).
all the best,

Hi, I have BMS4592 2" Mid Drivers mounted on Wooden Horns in my Klipcshorns, I will Check out your suggestions. Thanks!
Hi
The 4592 is the coax driver i think, if it is, you have a super tweeter, a REAL one that does go past 20KHz.
What i recall is the mf/hf crossover isn't as good as it could be. We use the B&C coax in it's place.
The thing with horns is getting smooth / flat response, do you have a way to measure what you have?
Hi,
I bought the Volti Audio Wooden Horns for an upgrade. The Supplied Drivers are BMS 4592 Mids, BMS does have a Coaxial Version. I am considering B&C DE-38 and DE-120 1" Drivers for Tweeters. Do you have a recommendation?
Much Appreciated,
Chuck

So you have a mid only version of this coax driver I was referring to
https://images.static-thomann.de/pics/atg/atgdata/document/specs/bms_4592nd_t.data.pdf
In that case, you might want to try the B&C version of that driver, also a coax driver with a crossover that is easier to manage than the BMS.

Both get up into the top octave where many drivers don't go.
Hi,
I ended up getting a pair of B&C DE38 1" Neodymium Mylar Horn Compression Driver 2-Bolt. Attached to B&C ME20 1" Exponential Flare Horn 90 x 60 2-Bolt. I am pleased with what I am hearing. BTW I also bought a pair of Eminence N151M-8 1" Ring Radiator Driver 8 Ohm 2-Bolt to try later on.Thanks for Your Suggestions!
Best Regards,
Chuck
