Final Notes:

Here are my notes from the real B&C ME10:

I'd say the measured dispersion is slightly more narrow then the rated 90 x 60. A flare in the response appears around 5khz though this appears only well off axis and is more prominent in the horizontal axis. Otherwise coverage inside the -6dB window is decent within the limitation of this fairly small horn.

This clone ME10 measures almost identically in the vertical axis but has a bit of waistbanding near 4khz on the -6dB line that the real B&C ME10 doesn't. Perhaps some slightly differences in the geometry of the horizontal flare.
