Really looking to get down a little lowerthan 750hz if I can.
The SEOS 24 (diysoundgroup) unit has a 7degree throat angle , but my driver is 0 degrees. I assume I can't 3D print an adapter as the geometry is not like old type horns that have a constant geometry. - they seam to change from a straight line at about 45 degrees for most of the horn into a tight radius just before the throat entrance.
This would mean I am left with a 7 degree sudden angle change....not what I'm looking to pay that kind of money for.
Are there any alternatives? Or would I have to 'roll my own?'

Why not print SEOS24 for your driver?
The SEOS 24 is huge! Can't be printing that beast!
It was my understanding that a 7degree angle mismatch would cause reflections in the throat.
How could there not be a throat?
Hello Noah
Here is a cross section with a JBL throatless driver using a coherent wave phase plug

I can print if needed - I've designed SEOS ten years ago for AVS forum.
For crossing at 750hz, i loved the 2384.
I have 2374, 1" sibling.
Larger than SEOS24 and controls directivity easily under 1k.
just cheap plastic and i have covered these with 4mm bitumen mat
Appears to be hereBMS 4550. price = us speaker used to stock this for about $150, appears to be unobtanium now. SAD!
Assitance Audio - BMS
though I haven't tried to buy any.
If the QSC waveguide is gone bye-bye, what could you put this beast on? The response goes really low. One of the BMS?

not sure how low you want to go, but 18Sound makes a nice horn that measures very well and sounds nice too

XT1086 is one of my favorites but the QSC measures a little bit better.
XT1086 is handy if you need narrower vertical beamwidth.
The nail in the coffin is that:
1) The XT1086 is aluminum, which makes it hard to work with for a Unity horn, if that's your goal
2) You can buy five of the QSCs for the cost of the 18Sound
3) Unfortunately both are discontinued
