I do not think my topology is relevant, (it took me 3 months to get my studio horns to sound right 20 years ago so I expect this again, it is a mix of mjlouspeaker transmission lines and this midrange m4 trial. And it is actually 2 systems I am working on, one for outdoor use (big) and my home reference with Titanium mj as centerpiece (until the m4 makes it very scared indeed).
The whole point of my posts is to get the M4 going as a real driver for critical use in a horn, and I absolutely agree that this M4 is obnoxious in its store bought form.
So my goal is to get it (m4) to be replacement of some fane or other now not available, we need something that works and we can get.
My idea is definitely to load this M4 in horn format. This driver is not transmission line candidate at all.
Get rid of front chamber, especially the phase plug, that is held by screws only, that is not centerable, that sounds like hell, that kills all of the sound really, listen to it without all of this front end stuff, I like it a lot, and will post my work when I can, but this to me is very exciting Romy, that the M4 can and will be used for very good purposes.
And this all takes time, that I have when I have it, you know.
They (Community say 200-2000 hz.) Time will tell. I only value the sound and alway cross by ear. It is the ear that must be pleased, mine anyway.
best regards, j.
