I very much like a few things you did with the frame. I like
that the stack is compact with no wasted space. I like that you have the highs
of your frame higher then you need as if you go for slightly larger MF channel
then you have a frame height to accommodate it. I like that you reversed the MF
and tweeter. It is not a configuration that I would like generally but in
context of your drivers it is a very proper move and it clear indication that
you properly react upon what you are hearing. I love that the frame has those
whole that allow to hung the channels at different heights. It is perhaps a bit
utilitarian but inexpensive and a very effective solution.
A few comment what I do not like. The rollers at the bottom.
They add 2-3 inch to the elevation of the horns and they make the frame less stable
on the floor. In case you have a hardwood floor I very much advocate to use
felt feet. Any home improvement store has zillion of them, juts self-adherent
felt pads and they work wonderful. You
still will be able to move the horn across the floor.
Regarding your questions. My crossover points should not be relevant
to you as it has to do with my horns, my driver and a few other things. I am
not the person who believe that a crossover point shall or shall not be in this
or in that range - it might be anywhere you drivers and a few other thing would
make it to be. So, where I cross the channels is irrelevant unless you do the
direct Macondo replica, something that you shall not be doing anywhere...
