I had a question and hopefully it's too goofy. I found some BG NEO3's I had bought some years back and was wondering if my 2 way horn project ends up need a little help on the top end, could the NEO3 be used or would a EV ST-350 be the better choice?

I tried BG3 (93dB sensitive) as supertweeters to my horn/compression dirver (110+dB sensitive), and the main issue is that you have to pad down the precious horn a LOT to match the lower sensitivity of BG3. Not worth it IME. Sound quality is better by tweaking the speaker cables, horn positioning, room treatments, etc to bring out the very top octave from horns better than to add a supertweeter IMO.
