I built a set of "SpeakerLab K's" using the plans available from
SpeakerLab.  It is not a trivial project (about 50 hours cutting and
gluing) but it isn't hard if you are careful.  I did most of the crazy
compound angle cuts using a hand-held circular saw and an aluminum guide
clamped to the wood (mahogany marine grade plywood).  I find this more
accurate that a tablesaw or radial arm saw.  I did need a tablesaw to
make the really small pieces that I couldn't safely set up and also for
the few pieces with angles greater than 45 degrees.

I agree with the previous article that the horns give a superb bass
response but I'm not too sure I would want a straight horn in the bass.
The problem is that it gets kind of long and you start getting a time
delay between the bass and midrange.  The folded horn is shorter and (to
me) the time skew is not noticeable.
