Yes, you really have to dial in speakers like these for best results. It's what separates the good speakers from the great ones, even more than the horn chosen. I mean, a bad horn can't be fixed, so I'm not saying one of those spitty CD horns will sound as good as a radial or waveguide. But I am saying that the crossover is as important, really even more so, and that even if you have an excellent waveguide, with the wrong crossover, the speaker will not sound good. Like you noticed, if the null is in your face, the response is horrible. That's the biggest problem for the round horn guys, you can't dial in the crossover, it just isn't possible.
