By the way, I use one of these with a guitar loudspeaker for ultra-thick midrange black metal sound

But seriously - is there any chance to get a good result with cutting a re-entrant horn? There are quite a few and for good prices - as GM said - poor mans 511/811 replacement

It does have a flare, just not much of one hence me choosing to label it a WG (waveguide).
