What is the gap on your old horn? Although there really is no hard and fast rule, 1/4" is about what I have on my horns. If it isn't gap and there are no air leaks then perhaps you should get a listener to "hear them out" from an audience position and see if they hear the airy tone. It may just be a matter of your ears getting used to a different sound coming off the back of the bell.
