Hello,
A couple of things to correct here - the horn flare is not conical even though the exterior surface gives that impression.Also I don't believe Jeffrey has any affiliation with weiss or other industry types at all - in fact, from what I've seen the whole wheelfi thing is part of larger project to support local artisans and craftsmanship and help give the area a boost. They've got textile making, bread making, pottery and a load of other things going on there... and I think (at least in the past) all the guys have get involved with that when they can. You might recognise the name of one of the guys on the website, Rob Kalin... having met him a couple times he strikes me as sincere and completely genuine in his vision for the place.
Knowing Jeffrey, the thing will be precisely time aligned. The drivers and amplification are designed and made in-house. One might theorise that the somewhat scattered field coil winding may actually bring some benefits by reducing capacitance - depending on the external supply and interaction with it - but no idea in practice. 
Novi - I suspect he's been ridicuolously busy with all this as I've not managed to get any emails back from him either!
But these days I tend to get more excited (pun intended) about the littluns hitting the piano than field coil drivers...
