Herman,

Im sure you are right about what you are saying and it makes perfect sense. In the Valencia though, the 416 was crossed over at 800Hz to an even smaller(1") compression driver and to me it sounded really good. The reason I chose a 15" in the first place is the same reason I chose a 12" for the TH. It moves a lot more air than a smaller driver, which in my world would make one "feel" the sound better. Maybe Im wrong about this but for me it makes sense.

As it seems the system is pretty tedious to listen to for longer periods. When only listening to the midbass horn I get kind of "ringing" in my ears which I think might be the reason for this. I think that might be because the entire horn is vibriting. When you think about it the horn kind of looks lika a bell of some sort. Someone might know of a way to ease the vibrating? Alternate mounting technique of the driver perhaps, or some kind of "grouding" or coating?
