i mean yeah its a 16ohm driver but with 2x4 DSP who really cares? Crossed to a nice 8-10l midwoofer we’re talking world class performance for not a lot of $$$. Not sure how I’ve not noticed this driver before.

Very smooth response in its passband of say 1.3khz and up. Won’t need much if any in way of shaping the response. Ketone diaphragm for a classic timbre and when used with a larger paper midrange?…….that’s a speaker I could listen to all day without fatigue.
Uses the same diaphragm as the HF108 and HF103.
16 ohm version looks artificially smoother on the mfg. graphs then the 8.
It's virtually identical" to the HF103. although with a larger Fe ring magnet.
The impedance curves shows the same areas of disturbance as the 103 and 108 namely at 5k , and in the top octave.
Grindstones graphs are more accurate.
Deeper throat and shallower exit then a 108, same dimensions and exit angle as the 103.
And yes it looks smooth and manageable, but expect it to be very similar to it's 'brothers'.🙂

I usually assume compression drivers in a horn have low distortion but worth checking, what's the distortion like? What horn is best for this driver in a domestic situation?
Normally a WG such as Dr. Geddes used unless you need a rectangular polar response:
Horn mouth polar frequency: c = 10^6/(a*b)
a = wall angle in deg
b = mouth width (or height) in inches
c = -6 dB frequency
metric = (2.54*10^6)/(a*b) in cm
