I've used the Radian 450s... they come on the back of the 5208 8" coax.
Excellent driver... in my tests, they didn't roll off until 22KHz! Of course, you have to build in "tilt EQ" as in any horn/driver combo (the horn/driver naturally has a "tilted" response dropping at 6 dB/oct. until the ultimate roll-off point up top, where they drop faster), but there's STILL like 95-96 dB sensitivity AFTER the EQ (at 20KHz)!

Ahh! You're following me!

How about you source some huge vintage JBL drivers off of the 'Bay? People swear by em.

Designing and building a CD horn would be a rather large and complex task...

Exactly why I wouldn't even try it at this point.... I was reading on DIY last night about horns, and had googled horn design earlier yesterday...

Needless to say I still don't think I should even attempt this.... ever.... lol.
