I have from time to time listened more with a very crude sort of injection channel plugged into the system. With this device, it is obvious that compressed recordings are more tollerable...My waf also noted the effect. I am only using one such device. In my case, I don't know if the "help" is due to some sort of dithering or if it is just plain masking.

Yes, this is THE effect, what driver do you use for injection?

Also, compressed recordings sound almost good (considering it is only one speaker) when playing them only via this device, with no other channels in use.

Hmmmm, but it colored like hell…

Another thing that seems to make compressed recordings more tollerable: The other day I tried letting the 180Hz lower-mid horn do more and the 400Hz upper-mid horn do less, by moving the crossover points up.

Sure, it is how all horns work. You moved the MF horn further from the “horn boom”, further from the channel’s own EQ zone.

This is where the art of the building systems with horns kinks in as it is necessary to find where is the save balance between a desire to get more LF EQes from a horn but without picking the dynamic-compressing lower knee “horn choking”. When you play with “horn choking” you will see that 25Hz is matter…  It is the area where 80% of all horn makers demonstrate complete lack of senses. BTW, in some case some minor LF “horn boom” is acceptable if the lower channel provides a minor effect of… injection.  It all depends from many many many factors….
