Hi,

I am planning on building a new pair of speakers for my room. The woofer size will be 12 inch. I am having trouble on deciding if the ZXPC k510 or the ZXPC 18 x 10 horn will be a better choice. The k510 is much cheaper to ship to Europe and is a bit smaller. I wonder if the 18 x 10 horn is worth the extra money and space (wider speaker) for better sound quality.

What horn would be your choice for the BMS 4590 coaxial compression driver and why?
 
I'm sure either could be made to work.

Some may say the driver is large, that's OK but crossing to a 12" would be possible with a single 1".

Some may say the horns are too short vertically, and narrow. Since this is non-axisymmetrical it's difficult to say where it becomes round without measurements.
