Anthony, it feels like more of less comprehensive solution.
I like that you make the mid-bass horns to have the same externals profile as lower
midrange horn, this is making is visually very complete. If it was mine, then I
would use less gloss on fine and would stay more with textured paint, but it just
my personal preference. You might here sometimes I advocate textured paint applied
to mouth of the horns, but I do not have any methodological clear empirical evidence
that it makes any difference and I rather take this side as “burning bush” believe
system. I am a bit surprised that you
feel it might be difficulty to tune them. Started with the setting I have as a default.

The measurements are done at the middle of mouth setting of each
horn. This is good configuration in my view that doe does not take in account room
or any other variable and a perfect test of amps gain and performances of the filters.
Drive 1K tone (or whatever my Sansui- TUX1 outputs with own test generator) set
the volume at first 4 light on your Placette. You will have a proper balance between
the channels for 6-10 feet of listening distance. Spend some time with this setting and then
you can move to any other configuration you feel better works for you. I have a
lot of knowledge what will happens if we move one of the channels crossovers up
or down, more volume or less volume, there was a lot of time spent experimenting
with all of it. If you would like to ask in a context and I will be happy to explain,
whatever I still remember. Do not feel however that I feel that to change the
balance that I found is some kind of deviation of normality. In fact, if I was
in your shoe, I would serially experiment with it. The proposed channels arrangement
is a very good starting point hewer. I do it a few times a year to assure the constancy
of the whole system configuration. You will see it will run away with time and
the cheat-list that I created is very useful for me. I have seen some tubes
run away, the kids might touch something, drivers can get damaged or become weaker, the cleaning ladies might disconnect some cables,
some mistakes might be made by myself during operation… With 14 channels we have, there is a LOT that might go wrong. To have a system integrity cheat-list I found to be a very effective tool to have. Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
