Thanks The Cat
I'm posting the pics of the build as I progress so people can see and pass on ideas, that's all. Are you suggesting you don't want horn projects shown on your site? I had earlier outlined the design, including cross-over points etc.
I assume people can see what I'm doing...and so assist as they feel they can. Although I've built a few speakers for Tannoys,  Altec, Klipsch and Lowther...this is my first true front loaded system...so I'm keen for as much support as I can get... 
Now I'm asking a general question about the hieght of the mane mid horn (500Hz to 5,000Hz). I'd appreciate your thoughts on this...as I understand this is one of the most important aspects of the horn system.
As you suggest, I'll prepare a drawing as well.
Also, FYI and for discussion later, I am swapping my 2A3 Push Pull for 3 separate stereo amps to run the horns. I will have two 6L6 SETs for the mid and high horns, plus a PP 6V6 amp for the midd=bass. Each of the three amps will have separate volume controls, with one having a master volume. Cross-over is undecided.
I'm yet to decide on final sub bass...but am looking at dual 30Hz tapped horns. The amps are from Oz builder, Earle Weston, who is meticulous...and hand winds own tranformers. 
Kind regards...and thanks four yor helps.
The Andrew
(Oh, how do I post a pic that shows in the body of the email? Thanks)
