Enspired by Jeffery Jacksons system as displayed @ VSAC, I'm building a five-way horn system.

How are you planning to power the thing? The amplification pattern will affect the selection of your channels.

It will not work. Fine 8” is a good driver with 86dB air resonance and it might be good for 100Hz horn minimum. In 65Hz horn the 8" Fane will be underperforming.

Oblate Spheroid to match 2kHz crossover point, to 10kHz;

Might I ask why you desired to  use two channels in this range with 2K of split? You will pay with some near filed restriction in this configuration.

I have a pair of Radian 850PBs and 475PBs to use at first, but would like to build compression drivers matched to the 400 - 2K and 2K - 10K frequency ranges.

And what specific moments you do not find satisfactory with you Radians that it inspired you to build your own drivers? I might have some leads for the rest of you questions but it would be interesting to hear what your sonic strategic objectives are.
