Thanks very much for that!
Having recently switched to external HF horns, I was thinking about switching out the 604's for the LF only equivalent (515C's !!!) to do away with the now idle coax horn (which resonates a bit). I could go to a different driver altogether but I spent a lot of time on the present boxes and don't feel like getting rid of them just yet.
Bill put forward the possibility that the 604 HF driver's magnet could be giving some support to the LF motor. If so then I may not be able to get the same performance from the stand alone unit.
I'm trying to avoid becoming too deeply enraptured by the speaker world as doing amps pretty well has me stretched to my limit. However(!) Bill also suggested using the horn as a mounting base for a phase plug. That might have me tinkering around with this 604 for a while yet. `,;^D
Thanks again very much for your help!
