Thats the kind of stuff I was hoping for. I appreciate the help with this, there seems to be a scarcity of horn related discussion on the web and its proving hard to learn the ropes.

One other unrelated question that could save me a lot of trial and error - If time and phase alignment was not an issue (imagine you were forced at gunpoint to use a digital XO that could compensate for this), would it be advantageous to align the mouths of all horns rather than the drivers? I was looking a building something like a Macondo frame, but I'm wondering the price one pays as far as HF from the tweeter horn smacking into the back of the horns above and bellow? I see you use a fairy directive horn to try squeeze the HF through the narrow gap, but I'll likely have a round tractrix back there so was wondering if I should move the tweeter forward and time align digitally, having that option on hand.

cheers
