ummm -- whatever the 2" ones were (I'm thinkin' BRH90). They did sound good, but they were yuuuuuuuuuuge.

Yup.....those are the BRH90.
They sure do look huuuuuuuuge.

They are.
They're not terribly heavy, though -- just a little awkward.
Nicely made, too, in their own way.

Man, you sure are having fun with all these horns. I wish I could play along with you David.
I can't answer that question, sadly, as it was too long ago for my aural memory to be really clear -- my sense at the time was that the EMILAR was smoother -- there was an edge to the Community (with either the JBL or the Altec drivers I tried) that was a little out of my comfort zone.What differences do you hear between the Community BRH90 and the Emilar EH-500-2?

This being said, I've fiddled with crossovers and driver integration (padding) a lot in the interim -- had I been a bit smarter, I'd have hung on to the Community horns longer -- but they were really large and I felt virtuous returning them to their rightful owner (even though he almost certainly would've been OK with them staying here for a while longer). Sorry

I think that the edginess was due to poor driver integration (padding) by me -- at the time, I didn't realize how much more sensitive the 2441 is compared to anything else here.
Wait, were they just loose or attached to said “metregon”? Also, where is said “dump”?I am certifiably certifiable.

I said, "well, I have these dump-find JBL 275s that are kind of cool." I pulled them out and tried to take off the H5040 (Metregon) horns that they were found with. Well, the bolts came out fine, Bob's your uncle, but the horns are kinda sorta fused to the drivers.
They sound -- good. No kidding.
Nope, just them and their 600 Hz crossovers (modified in some way) -- and a pair of LE8s in home-made boxes
Harvard, MA -- where we lived for 21 years. I love(d) the Harvard dump (actually, technically, transfer station).
