Hi Chaps,

I view of the fact I have two pairs of S2 drivers, I'm intrigued by the thought of running them a la Romy, i.e. high and low.

So, in addition to procuring a pair of Big Mama horns, I'm discussing with Martin the prospect of getting some higher frequency horns made to take over from the 160s at higher frequencies, up to the S2's natural roll-off. Some advice regarding the cossover frequency and how best to integrate them swould be welcome.

My initial thought was to run the 160s up to 2.5kHz to get as much of the mid-range covered by one driver, but it's been pointed out to me that crossing lower (approx. 1kHz) should be better. Some advice on this and suggestions on a suitable flare rate would be welcome.

Thanks,
Pete
