Ebay.
However, I wouldn't nrccesarily build a direct copy, unless that's what you're after. The TAD and Fostex horns are better, as are the TAD drivers (with 4001's you could have a two way).
A ggod resource would be to enquire at Classic Audio Repro and see what they use in their replica's. They're quite highly respected from what I understand. The guy who builds them (who's name escapes me at this moment) also builds his own designs using the modern drivers, and may be willing to offer advice.

Nice, eh?

Thanks a bunch Brett. I am considering helping a friend build these and I thought i should do a little research first. I have built speakers before so I know what is usually involved. These babies look like like major work so I will make sure my friend understands what he is in for.

Hi Puggy,
It's a big job to build some of the Hartsfields, but you'd end up with a very fine pair of speakers. For all their size, because they're set right in the corners, they take up little room. I used Khorns in a 13'x 14'room.
If your friend does decide to build them, please take some photo's and post them. I'd like to see how they come together.
