Thanks for your advice Romy and Stefano.

I have used RTA with condenser mic in my past systems but I admit I am no professional at it. But I am not clueless with it either.. In my previous setup when I was playing with open baffle designed speakers, I was using it mainly to see the roll off of the drivers and the in-room frequency response of them. Then I was experimenting with digital eq (behringer dcx2496) to hear the effects when I sort out the 'valleys'. That is as far as my knowledge goes in terms of using it. I was always gonna head through the same phase with my horn setup (which is only relatively recent that I managed to get all the parts needed to start it playing at least..) Is there any other controls apart from time alignment and eq that I should be looking into?

After reading your post Stefano about setting the tweeter at 7k as at the recommended 5k, there is a 'deep valley', I changed mine from 6.3k to 8k (ie. letting the sg-370 play upto 8k) and it already sounds more 'fuller' and more balanced. This simple change has made me realise and understand about what you have posted and I can see it being very good advice for me!

So, many thanks again Stefano.. Smile
