No way, that's a bad combo.

One of the things that makes π magic is its uniform directivity. The forward lobe is nice and smooth, uniform in the horizontal and vertical planes. One of the requirements for this to occur is directivity must be matched in the crossover region.

There's no way to get this to happen with the Karlson design. It may be suitable as a sub, perhaps midbass for kick drum or something. But you definitely don't want it to be the midwoofer in a DI-matched two-way loudspeaker.
