    My first guess but have never seen anything rounded like that.

    Along the bottom row the 90 degree horn is shown.

    Perhaps Frazier... I dunno. They look like intelligently designed 60 degree radial horns to me.

    Maybe it is the round eye bolts that look bad to me. But it is how they sound that matters most to me...Personally I think they are way too small for a large format Altec driver. Just my opinion though..

    The eye bolts are characteristic of Frazier.

    Ironic that you think they're too small for large format drivers. I am honestly not aware of anything Frazier made that WAS large format, and i have wondered from the get go if these were modified to accept large format drivers.

    Note that the small pic i posted shows small format JBL drivers on the 90 degree horns.

    The ebay auction appears to have two 60 degree horns and one 90.

    Maybe ? But nothing I would use..The eye bolts are totally unnecessary, unless you plan on hanging them from the ceiling or something.I'm talking about the original post (Ebay Auction) and if you look at the throat on the ebay horns you can quite easily tell that they are for small format drivers so if they have been modded to fit the large format Altec drivers they have been modded half ass.So almost all or half of the energy from the 291's diaphragm is being directed back into the driver/diaphragm.So quite silly IMHO !
