No idea, no mater how much extra $$$$$$ anyone throws at them with correction electronics, you not going to be able to correct all those flaws, you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear. 
@mijostyn,
That is exactly what I have done a few years back!!! Tri amped and using the Xilica 4080 DSP to control everything, best sound I have ever heard from my Khorns!!! BTW they are also upgraded with 2" wooden tractrix flared horns and 2" BMS 4593 ND mid drivers and Fostex 91A tweeters.....
jsman,
I would love to hear them. I must be really special. What amp are you driving them with?
The only way to improve on some of the Khorn flaws is to redesign the speaker. I know of no serious enthusiast that uses DSP. This doesnt mean that these people dont exist, I just dont know any. I dont believe for a moment that DSP doesnt have a significant downside. As George points out  why would you  put so much expense into Khorns when more viable options exist which are better than the Khorns in the areas in which this speaker excels? I think that you guys are hanging on too tightly. 
It is all about trade offs and compromise, which I hear in EVERY design, at EVERY price......If I am not mistaken, George owns a version of ML Monoliths ( likely modified to the tilt, knowing George ), which I have much familiarity with. Just as I do not like many horn hybrids, because of that " discontinuity " between the horns and the woofer boxes, I also hear this in the Monolith, this lack of coherence, if you will. I would never come on here, and bad mouth the design, as it makes trade offs, and I know it can be enjoyed by many. I respect many listeners here, and elsewhere, because if they find a system they are happy with, that, is all that matters. I might not agree, that the system this other person finds so enjoyable, fits my specific criteria as a listener ( as I say all of the time, it is personal and individualistic ). It is childish and meaningless, to make snarl comments as Georgie seems to do, and he does it often, and everywhere. But, it is humorous, the majority of the time, this back and forth, with nothing ever changing. Enjoy ! MrD.
