Romy,
Thanks for your comments.
When you write "...but the major question for me, if I were in your situation, what kind topology you will be using the lower bass channel and how you will be driving it."
I assume you are suggesting that the topology of the lower bass channel would be easier to nail down in a room having an acoustic character with which I am already familiar.
Very true, I am not making things easy by throwing so many unknowns into the mix (new horns, drivers, amps, and room).
I am working to establish a reference point in the new room, in as much as will be possible, by carefully setting up the existing (direct radiating) system, then switching to the horns driven by a pair of full range SET amps via passive filters, and finally to the horns driven by the five-channel Melqs.
It will be necessary to get the system sounding right in each case (each step) before moving on.
I am somewhat counting on my familiarity with what can be expected of the existing system in a variety of environments (I have lived with it, unchanged, for a good long time).
Regards,
