I would worry that there could be an interaction between your electrical filters and the filter formed by the horns themselves.

I, too, like to trust my ears and I would ten to trust yours more than mine but nonetheless you have created quite a complicated filter with the mid-bass horn.  Akin to several Doctors giving a patient  drugs without considering how they will interact with what the other fellow has prescribed.

My instinct is to simplify the chain of filters and see what happens. 

I respect your search for perfection but sometimes only compromise is possible.

Rick, what are you talking about? I do not see any “search for perfection” on my side. I have perhaps 7 (!!!) differents filters that are in action and all that I would like to do it to get a proper dosage of LF after all those filters engaged. I do not think that I do something special or extraordinary asking my midbass horn to produce Sound that I want it to produce instead of what it “happened produce”. I can only assure you that it has very much different sound coal to what it he what you was here and it has even very different sound compare to what it was this weekend. Learning to use he such a horn is a mutual dedication – I learn what option and characters of sound the horn offers and I correct it in a why how I find it necessary. There is not a lot of difference between making a playback to sound in a specific manner and to conduct an orchestra. The methods of expressivity are different but the objectives and the ideas are very much the same.

So, the point is of perfection vs. compromise is absolutely invalid in my view. There is no “perfection” and there is no “compromise”. There is only an interest to process and interest in results. A playing placing with a large 7-chenals inhalation in a new room and making it to sound from a random cacophony to a well lubricated listing instrument is superbly educational, fascinating and I have tremendous interest in it. I truly do not think about perfections or compromise. I see what it does, compare it with what I want it to do and see what I might do in order to navigate sound where I would like it to be. Nothing more and nothing less.
