de Charlus, I still do not think that there is such a thing as “ the only a theoretical starting point”. Perhaps you were inspired by Jeffrey’s recommendation that has more experience in it then you. Still, the compression drivers loaded into given horn exhibit sometime very peculiar behavior and to have a specific aim of where the channel will be operating is not always possible.  I still feel that idea to use plan 15-100 Hz channels from beginning of project is faulty. I also feel that use S2 between 500-2000hz is kind of problematic. The S2 driver has a secondary resonance at 1250 Hz with a good 8dB bulge, how will you deal with it in 250hz horn? Will you use a notch filtration? That will kill the whole S2 sound.  Still, this is your project and you very much free to do whatever you wish. 

The reasons why I used word “ballet” in the subject of the post because the section of crossover points leads to the selection of the horns side.  Ironically you would never know the final crossover points unit you put the drivers into the horns and put the horns together. This is the chicken and egg story… That is why I advised to start from upperbass and MF and THAN expend the system. You might make a MF horn with interchangeable back plate init winch you will be able to screw any driver with any throat with no damage to horn geometry. Jeffrey is a resourceful fellow and he will be able to advise to you options, if not then I can pitch the ways how I did it.

An invitation to listen to Macondo system is not a problem and I have no idea why my marriage (as somebody advised) might affect my audio interests.  You might enjoy result of the listening but I do not think that you will advance yourself in your project by listening my installation.  Jeffrey with his experience would rather get the idea of what I do if he hears Macondo. I think you might get better feeling about Macondo sound AFTER you finish your project and spend some time with your playback. Nevertheless, if you or Jeffrey feel that you need either Macondo or my assistance then we would be happy to facilitate it.
