Robert, what I meant is following: when you will be collecting requirements for you own drivers specification and will evaluate the implementation methods then you need to have you own identity what you are trying to do. I might post a lot of different thoughts about what might work interestingly in compression drivers. I am sure others would do the same but it will be not definitive direction but rather an array for exploration. No one can defiantly and predictable say hop the driver will sound and in particularly no one can say how it will be sound loaded into a horn. So, when you hear people talk about requirement to the drivers you need to have a lot of YOUR attitude to discriminate information and to accept only what makes send to you. Otherwise you will get conversed into junky aka your Oswalds Mill’s guy of the Brazilian retard Angeloitacare who jangler the empty phase with no understanding of the phase’s meaning.

If I were in your shoe I would take make as you wish but wish a slight correction:

65Hz Tractrix from ~80Hz to ~800Hz w/ fane 8" ( or better driver)
250Hz LeCleach from ~800Hz to ~10kHz
JBL 2405 ribbon from 10kHz up

As you see I leave away the sub 800Hz horn and combined two MF horn into one. The bass horn is a pain in ass.  It is a good idea to see if your wife will tolerate 80Hz horn before you go for something larger. Ask, Jessie – he will read you a lecture about it… Also, MF horns only is already something that would allow you to play with playback and to make own conclusions.  Also, I combined for now two MF drivers into one – it is simpler, smaller and you always will be able to convert the universal MF channel into lower MF channel and then add one more supplementary upper MF channel. You need to pick a good and neutral MF driver; I always propose the JBL 375/2440 or the similar and make the given system to sound right. Then, only then, after you identify what in your view the system weakness, you will be in position to evaluate your own requirement and to how you would develop you playback further. At least it is how I see the things…
