Hello ,

I'm very surprised 2 MB that none of the horn gurus have commented on this, you must be asking some really tuff questions.

May i suggest the easy way out by using an electronic x-over and bi-amping the speaker. Most if not all comes with properties that allow you to adjust for a horn along with the necessary e/q for bandwidth anomalies..

Call Bill Legall at Millersound for his opinion;he can rebuild them or design a crossover if thats the route you want to go.I think he would be able to come up with a few ideas that would help you out.
