The drawing in the F2 manual, detailed above by Snowflake, does show the true shape of the folded horn. I can assure you of this because I wrote the manual, including that drawing.

Like Robbo, I also find this whole debate very entertaining.

A modern "stretch" version would need something like an extra two inches / 50mm each end, to accommodate a wider range of drivers. Having said that, the original ATC performs very well - not surprising as the F2B was designed around it.

only modern drivers that will fit and are in the right-ballpark acoustically are RCF MB15N401 and MB15N405. THESE DRIVERS DON'T FIT WITHOUT MODIFICATION.

any other drivers you are going to be redesigning a whole nex box rather than creating anything close to an F2B.

As Chris posted above, you can still get the original drive units from ATC. The only difference is that they don't have a Martin L1540 badge.
