"On one pair the center horn cell fell off and that one sounds the best."
Do you mean just the one center cross member (left to right in the picture) leaving the cross members, for the left cell and the right cell, in place along with the 2 vertical cross members?

The horn is often in two segments(I thought it was always like that but I was corrected). One part has the mounting flange and throat, the other portion is the outer part with the cells and mouth. There is a glued seem that splits on some, probably depending on handling and storage.
See the link for the two throat and horn versions.

"One part has the mounting flange and throat, the other portion is the outer part with the cells and mouth."My concern is that if Stu's "cells and mouth" fell off and he is listening with only the "mounting flange and throat" the diaphragm will not be properly loaded (coupled to the air) and could be easily damaged if played loudly.

I can't respond to the original poster's question ( I am not an industry insider),but I would like to ask for opinions on the value of biamping a pair of 604C's vs using an upgraded (J Markwart) passive crossover.
I have had a pair of the 604cs in storage for too long and I intend to give them a go soon. My current speakers are a pair of RCA LC1s.
thanks
