If you wanted to combine a 5 inch mid driver or drivers into a horn, to add fully coherently into one acoustic source with the HF driver at the apex, the distance across the horn can only be about 4 inches and one is limited to a crossover about 1200Hz or below. This is that "less than 1/4 wavelength" rule for coherent single source addition that must be followed inside a multi-way horn.

I think Eggleston Works used to run the mids wide open on some models - Brian H P 13:10:51 07/29/24 (2)

My one subjective impression at a CES was that that speaker had a very narrow sweet spot - John Marks 15:06:09 07/30/24 (0)
