Horn speakers for vintage sound

I come from the live concert and studio side of loudspeaker design. If you have the original baskets for the cone speakers, and you can find a reputable recone man, many of the original recone kits are still available in back catalog. Just a few short years ago I reconed my JBL 4333’s with  the original foam surround kit. Also, for the do it yourself, check out the work being done by the Italian speaker and compression drivers manufacturers B&C and 18 Sound. Precision made  motors with excellent specs, cost effective as well. 

 Check out the custom horn speakers made by John Kalinowski.  Excellent sound within your budget- true I sure do put my heart and soul into my builds. Have a few horn loudspeakers available. 

Used Altec A7 goes around 3-5k$, if you can find one in good condition it will work.

First, what is :

"budget"

Then' check out the JBL 4309. You will keep them for a long long time. 

Either Klipsch Lascalas, Cornwalls, or Khorns.
