Friend after friend leaves astonished saying how "dialled" the sound is and the system was literally slapped together via the path of least resistance just for proof of concept. Development ended there other than adding 2 more braces to the speaker enclosure. The proof is in the fact that it ended there. If i was not satisfied the configuration would have changed by now or been stripped down and replaced with something else. The irony.

I did a bit of this n that: changed the xovers to the modern UK ones, then changed the caps to better, stuffed the cabs with mineral wool, bought nice Cu foil speaker cables etc. But admittedly all that was incremental. I want to try a supertweeter, looking to add some more air and spaciousness. I've been hunting Tannoy ST-50 or -25 for that experiment. I have some gut feeling that the dome supertweetrs, rather than horn or ribbon ones, with their wide angular characteristic will be much better for my job.

As for the bass, I think I give up and move to RI experiments. The only thing that comes to mind would be an identical Dannoy but with the HF disconnected and low passed at some 80Hz. This should have the +/- mathing phase response but I'm reluctant to hunt another pair of Reds as it takes forever here.
