Horn Match for Altec 902-16K in Klipschorn system

Posted by George S. Roland (A) on June 25, 2007 at 09:16:14

I have a 1977-vintage K-horn and a pair of these drivers on the way. I am trying to determine what horn would be best for my setup.
My K-horns go on the narrow wall of a 14 w x 22 l x 8 h foot room. I cannot put them on the long wall because the corners aren't there.
Normally I rotate my present "top hat" (K-55V on an ALK Trachorn with Crites CT 125 tweeter) a bit outwards to fire down the room giving better coverage.
Since the 290-16K is a 300 cycle driver, it should be able to handle the crossover with the 400 cycle K-horn bass without dropouts.
With that as preliminary info, I would be curious to hear what you have done to select a horn and why. By looking at Altec literature, I see the following 300 cycle horns can mate with this driver: 203B, 803B, 1003B, 1004B(400 cycles), 1803B. I have also had the 311-60 and 311-90 recommended.
So what would you recommend?
Thanks,

George
