Well, it sound like it is a bit too early for you to making decision about using of the channels if you do not have a basic feeling how the drivers and the loading methods might perform. You build theories about the way how the channels might or might not be used but you in fact has no own reference points about the subject. I do not think that you shall use anybody, including my guidance, but you instead need to develop your own sense of expectations, means, results and gratifications. Do not build anything big, make a upper bass channel, even with direct radiators, and compliment it with MF horn. Then experiment with MF horns and drivers until you find a setting that you feel is right to you. Only then you can add more channels and shape sound further, but only after you will acquired own taste in those things.

The whole idea about using an electronic crossover for fundamentals that you described about I do not get, I do not even understand what you meant. What I do insist that it is too premature for you to think about type of the crossovering if you do not have any basic realization of what channels and driver your playback will be using.
