Wayne,

Just wondering how things were going with your horn tweeter design.

I just blew the tweeters in my Audio Physic Tempo II and though I am attempting to replace with something that probably won't work (I don't know diddly about crossovers...) I am at the same time thinking that, now that I have a subwoofer and a video projector, it is time to get some speakers with serious SPL abilities (I like it loud).

I am looking at your 3 pi professional series kit and thinking about attempting to re-size into a large, sealed studio monitor kind of thing to put on heavy duty stands. Would re-calculating volume for a sealed or leaky (don't know the proper name) impact the crossover design? I am looking for something that will be really strong down to 70Hz as I have the sub coming in below 80. And then my last question, would such a set up be better served by a horn tweeter, especially if it can cross a little lower than the DX25, or do you feel that the DX can really hold up to high SPLs in your 3 Pi Pro series design? I am a bit concerned about running a 12 too high, especially as my listening distances are fairly short (5-8 feet) and spread out on a couch, I don't want to be the only one hogging a decent stereo image in the middle of the couch...

Sorry for the long post, getting anxious to get something going...
