Yeah, they didn't sell as much as you would have expected from such a professional design. It was the PA-Forum community projekt years ago, before Jobst took over the german DIY market.
Quite a few people disliked the very complicated passive x over (including allpass, notch filters etc) in these days of ease digital processing aswell. "Bauteilegrab" they'd call it ;) The passive alone is ~200€ per piece. Only sold preassembled.
I know Fabian personally, he also did the measurements of my own speakers, im 100% sure it is possible to get the x-over and building plans still, not so sure about CNC flatpacks if they took it of the shop.
Also, i have 2 new ND1460 lying around i might be willing to sell ;)

oh i realise thats probably the online shop you meant, sorry. They had a CNC flat pack once, but no i cant find it anymore... i will ask fabian directly!

thank you corell, that's very kind of you!

Clap

EDIT: can't find a crossover for the PAF212 either, neither pre-assembled nor in kit form Ouch

I suspect it might have not sold very well at the high (but justified!) price point.

Any idea if cnc flat packs are available for this one? The online shop carries  a driver set, and protective plastic covers  but no flatpacks Ouch

Very detailed information about the XT 1464 can be found here :
http://lambda-labs.com/de/#/tx-3a (tools4music test download)
and here :
hr-systems.biz/downloads/PAF-212-Dokumentation.pdf

both were done by the same person btw. the second one probably is the best documentation of any DIY top there is. Even if its not that fun to use google translator, i would suggest to read the whole article!

Yeah the response is awesome, 12" not applicable for my purpose either as flh mid kicks go upto 370 just to complicates matters

The intended application of all my research is for pretty large systems hence upscaling to 2". 8 hog stack for instance at the moment, The response is very good it's the dispersion over a large size system that I think it's going to get into trouble. If I can use it for the frequencies that have the 6040 pattern only with a separate horn For more cd and still get the xt sound quality even if it's only in the mf it would be a good trade off

You might also have a lot of fun trying to get them to sum nicely without resorting to not so nice sounding super steep filters.

There's a lot of trade offs - the XT1464 might not look so great on paper but in practice it's probably the best off the shelf horn I've heard. And is right up there in the pro market when using the right driver too.

Here's a real world on axis REW measurement of BMS 4594Nd on one with a dual 12" LF section:

Yeah that is helpful advice , Ty.

Now need to find either a round or eliptical cd horn for 10k-20k. Square cd flare over an eliptical xt would look awful. Another hurdle.

Ok that makes sense but having ascertained that anything over 10k has a 20/20 angle makes it pretty useless over 10k so 10k-20k required.

Here's a few to save you time. Note that the last few are array cabinets and have presets with boosted HF response in the associate preset to account for mid/lf summation of multiple boxes / get more HF out to the far field.
