Time to awaken this thread, I got myself a pair of these drivers first horn on the list is a TAD TD4001 clone
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
initial impressions, plays lower with less distortion than Radian 950 beryllium , needs some eq up top as expected. very good sounding
Do you hear any advantage for the Radian above 1k when both are eq'd the same? Thanks.

Wow great!
@speedy6963 any chance to post some measurement?
On which horn are you testing those?

tested on eliptrac 400

I have a pair for sales if anyone are interested. They are basically good as new. Contact me by pm.
That is pretty much beyond 'the vocal range' for which the Axi2050 was intended, so maybe Celestion didn't consider it relevant 😀
While I was searching for the origin of some good ol' fiberglass diffraction horns that I've bought, I stumbled upon some Outline horns that look quite similar to the Celestion LH9045R.
The Outline horns are a bit smaller though and 60x40.

The measurements where done with the LTH142, which is way too small too unleash the full potential of this driver.
The breakup looks modest and Faital's plots are usually not far from reality and the Ketone Polymer diaphragm provides a smooth sound.
People have used the smaller HF144 from 600-700 Hz without issues. This one should take 500Hz.
It remains to be seen whether the radial plug does well with a high flare rate at the throat.

I have a pair of the Axi2050 that I will be selling soon on Audiogon. Ended up liking the radian 950 beryllium better
