You ought to see the "shop" speakers I have now. Some cheap-#ss Radio Shack full rangers I picked up for $1 each stuffed in the end of a 4L aluminum ether can. They sound like junk, but I'm not afraid to blow em either!

Besides the tone and improved imaging I also like what the super-tweeter "pod" enabled me to do for the convenience and wire dress of the cross-over.
Can you find the cat?

Right now there is a ALtec 806-8A on a 811B horn with EV T-35 tweeter. I am using 15 ohm parallel with 25 ohm series(bypassed with .33 ufd cap) and then running through a L-pad.

The T-35 is using a .5 ufd oil cap with shunt .5 mh coil and L-pad also.

If the tweeter level is to high, the mid horns sound too screechy and if the mid horns are to high, then the sound is shouty.

Trying to add a powered sub in the mix adds more phase issues.

The reason for the L-pads is so I can swap compression drivers and horns quickly.

"Dense interference" is when lobing becomes so severe that response actually becomes smoother. It's massive comb filtering, but on a scale that averages the sound field rather than pitting it. Comb filtering generally produces deep nulls in response, but it is most noticeable when the out-of-phase region is fairly large, so there is a wide spot in the room where some band of frequencies is missing. If the interaction is so dense that nulls and peaks form every fraction of an inch (as is possible at high frequencies) then the sound field tends to average out.
