Rakesh,

I think you’re doing a strategic mistake. You see, there is no manual in those things. As much as you are trying to come up with one it still will be no manual in the end. Reading this site one might think that by venture of my site I have built some kind of manual build is a very wrong view. The true and the only available “manual” is a set of person’s mental perceptional values, and this has no projection to audio implementations.

I do not think that “rules” that you are trying to create for yourself during “design” stage are useful. Look at the Robert’s proposal to cross-feed midbass horn with inverted phase. There were so mach thinking about it and so many ideas how differently it might be done. I even considered to run two bass Melquiades connected in series with both midbass woofers and to regulate a crosstalk with a resistor to center point. Warn you that it would not be the wide-band cross-feed (wish always craps and no useful in serious audio) but DSET cross-feed – very different animal. The point is that all of it imposable to assess before the fact of building and testing the things. All of those things might be tested, in my view ONLY after the proper default sound in the rooms is made and recognized. It is like playing tennis, if you right-hand player then you can practice some kind sophisticated top-spin strike by left hand but to be a fine player you need to be able to have a stable and reliable left play holding you paddle in your default right hand.
 
The notion of testing of the result is NOT only the testing the implementation concept but also testing of yourself, own perception and using the achieved results as own navigation points to expend your own mind of what is possible.
