No, the 1443 is also a field coil, just a different voltage.

Re: the configuration - indeed; I am hoping to get 300Hz with the RCA, then the S2 from between 1k-1500 and up, + tweeter. Below the RCA willbe a compromise to begin with, but hopefully will lead into 5 ways.

Regarding the RCA breathing when driven lower - I'm not entirely sure at this point. I do know that it was not happy on the 340Hz horn.
Steve and Rich's cones are carbon fibre, the originals are phenolic. They do seem to sound different, but its early days.

It will take a while to get this all sorted, but I will report back when ready... I will try observing at your suggested x/o experiments in particular - those settings should work (or at least not destroy) the S2 and enable an interesting comparison.
