It is not about lofty standards. This web site is not about offering help or imposing help. I do not mind to help people and I do it extensively if I recognize that there is a potential in the system’s owner or the installation to be sensible. Anything, absolutely anything you do in audio will produce Sound, so why you are building something special? I do not think you have answer to this question for yourself and placement of tweeters above or below the MF horns will not rectify it. That was all that I got from your questions. There are plenty site out there who would be happy to offer you advise about cutting wood, screwing in drivers and turning horns. It is not that I am footballing you to another forum but I do feel that at this time other sites might be more effective to you, I do not know it  will be more useful but it will be for sure address what you are looking to get from on-line interaction. Andrew, please, do not take it personally, I am sure you are a great guy and if we meet I would buy you bear. However, your interest/understanding of audio, as they are now, do not attract me to much. You for sure might post whatever you wish but unless you express/ask anything that I feel “interesting” I would prefer do not engage it. I hope I am in my constitutional rights to do so.

Thanks Roman...don't worry about your rights...they're protected...after all, it's your web site!!!
I'll defer further posts from now...as I now understand your site is more geared to finished or more high end systems. 
I'll try again to articulate why I'm doing what I'm doing....as you have asked.
I've had lots of speakers over a 20 year or so period. I like changing things around. I also like building things. With that as a back drop, I though I'd like to have a pplayback system that offered a lot more than what standard woofers and tweeters and boxes could provide. The various horn systems I have listened to offered 'big' sound stage, excellent dynamics, attack, scale, capacity to excel at micro detail. I found the music sounded more like live music. This is the PRIMARY reason for my quest. My SECONDARY reasons are two fold. 1. I like DIY to some extent. and 2. I like the look of the horns in my large room.
So, that's all I can say. I'm sorry if I do not have the right technical words to say to you.
I have good ears for music, as I am a piano player and singer....so when I hear a good system, I say, yes...that sounds clear and good...I want that.
The system I have outlined in this thread is a VERY economical approach to achieving a 'basic' introduction to a multiple horn playback system. All up, probably US$4,000. For me to get anything like the sound of this out of a standard 2 or 3 way driver/box system would not be possible. So, I am happy with the path I am on. Also, the path is very scalable...as I would like to consider alternate drivers as funds allow, eg S2's, GOTO or even field-coil. For me, the journey is equal/better/fun than the end point. 
I trust this makes sense to you.
Kind regards and thanks for your understanding.
PS (I would also buy you a drink if you visited lovely Sydney...but I'd buy you a beer, not a bear.....maybe a Koala Bear...!?) Do you ever travel this way...?
Andrew
