I have ordered a Tractrix 290mm horn, made in plywood.
After a lot of “research”, the HF driver seems to be a good option.
I need the horn to cover the range from about 1Khz and all way up….no super tweeter.
The Tractrix horn has a 2” connection, and I then came to realize that the HF206 is the exact same driver, but includes the adapter.
I managed to find the HF146 at a really good price though, but I then miss the adapter.
Before ordering, I want to ask if the original adapter better than the adapters to be found on the market?
The original looks quite solid, compared to the cheap-looking plastic ones……

The original adapter" has the correct throat/exit angle for the HF146 as designed. Aftermarket parts are a hit and miss and likely not a very good match.
If your horn is designed to fit the HF206's throat/exit , then yes it is no doubt better to some degree.
Only measurements will tell the degree of difference it makes so

It turned out that the horns where made by a real amateur…..
The plywood was some cheap ****, with a lot of holes…..
On top of this, the horn was produced “by hand” and not CNC machined….huge variations on the shape, and not at all tractrix.
I ended up, throwing them away.
I now bought from this guy, who is super serious and very helpfull https://audiohorn.net/‘
I bought the X-shape, and will pair it with Eighteensound NSD1095N
