The seven π midhorn is designed to use a 10" driver. I've tested it with Eminence Alpha 10 and Delta 10 drivers and with the JBL 2012.
When I was designing the midhorn, the first drivers I tried were 8" drivers. I had hoped to use them, and the Alpha 8 would have seemed to work just fine. But Hornresp models weren't promising. I don't remember all the problems I saw but I do remember that lower midrange performance was the sticking point.

Yeah, I seemed to recall that response was a bit peaky in some of the horns I modeled with the Alpha 8. As I remember, that surprised me. I suspect that a horn could be optimized for this driver that would work very nicely. But without the low midrange extension I needed, I didn't spend a lot of time on horn models for the Alpha 8.
