These look like real speakers! Would love to hear a pair. Are they a sort of Altec Lansing sound?

Definitely worth trying. I would loan you the pair I made for a short while, if you were closer than West Sussex ( I'm in N.Wales ! ).
I am still trying to get an upper-bass horn that does justice to them.
I made a pair by using Yuichi's plans for the A290S, and scaling it down by factor 1.4/2.0 to get a 415Hz horn of a more manageable size, suitable for use with my GPA 288H drivers. The combination of these with a sensitive ribbon tweeter above 5kHz is just stunning.
This is after I moved away from a pair of circular Le Cleac'h horns which I could never get happy with on vocals.

No, that's very restricted vertically, a Smith Horn. Not convinced about those.
The Yuichi is more or less like the TAD bi-radials or the Vitavox ones as used now on the Vox Olympian.

It used to be easy until very recently.
Yuichi's site was : http://www.geocities.jp/arai401204/
I was able to access it again recently on the Internet Archive ( Wayback machine ) and saved many of the pages and pdf's of the plans.
Another example of how fragile the internet's resources are, many great websites are disappearing.
