Never heard an Autograph. Decware horn was ok.
I'd build a FHXL or Joan.

The Decware horn got a round baffle without beveled or rounded edges. That creates the strongest possible baffle step. I haven't heard the speaker. Also, the enclosure got a brace from the back chamber to the rear but neglects to support/brace side to side, which is the largest non-enforced surface, only at the end of it, at the mouth are 3. Instead of making circular back chamber with fancy, wanna-be-impressive shapes (where the shape doesn't matter) and openings, they should have thought it through a bit better.
The 'magnetic crossover' consists of two audio transformers and two switches. They claim 'no coils' - but I've got news there, audio transformers are in fact, coils. The price of 1000$ is quite a bit steep, don't you think? That's of course only the 'magnetic crossover', two completely built speakers are 10800$ and for that kind of money they don't even remove the excess wood glue (clearly visible in the photos).
Thanks, I'll pass on this one.
We built the Decware. Middling to poor. The Autograph is huge, needs a big Tannoy and i found them quite coloured. They would have hit the bonfire if a mmeber had’t scooped them up for his A10PeN.
As Jeff suggests FHXL has been very successful. Joan is much newer and a variation for larger drivers.
There are also good horns at https://frugal-horn.com/ and anything from Dr Scott (@Scottmoose) is good.
Nadape does some interetsing ML-Voigts.
