Rick, I have noticed that this is probably the first BIG challenge of designing(or even understanding the design of) 2-way arrays.
I have been doing a lot of late night research of 3"-4" widerange mid drivers and it seems that those few that go low enough to provide smooth transition to a sub tend to fall short on the upper transition to ribbons/tweeters. Either they become excessively ragged or just cannot go that high.
Conversely, if there are ones which go high enough to provide a nice transition to tweeters, they drop off too early to work smoothly with a subwoofer.
Interesting challenge to the dynamic benefits of small widerange mid drivers
