Actually, the Delta 10 is what's used in the seven π midhorn. For some reason, I found myself drawn to it more than the 2012. The midhorn with the Delta 10 has a very warm, creamy sound that I just plain like. I know, that's terribly unscientific, but for whatever reason, I like the sound of the Delta 10 in the midhorn.
You could use the Alpha 10 in there, in fact, that's what's in the eight π loudspeaker. The Alpha 10 allows rear loading for the bass. But I prefer the Delta 10 when used as a dedicated midrange.
Normally, I much prefer the JBL drivers for midbass and midrange. As direct radiators, the 2012 and 2123 definitely sound better to me than the Delta 10. But I think the horn loading reduces excursion enough to equal the distortion reduction gained by the shorting ring. Sure, that means the combination of a shorting ring and horn loading would reduce it even further, but I think I prefer the Delta 10 anyway. It sounds very nice in the midhorn.
