Bruce, it's actually a 470 Hz, not 550. You're flattering me - "we write a joint article." Ha - that made my day! No, you will have to do all the writing. I'm really more like a craftsman, an artisan perhaps, but I'm not a learned scientist, not even an engineer. Over the last two decades plus (has it been that long?!) of rubbing elbows with you I've developed an intuitive understanding/appreciation of what makes a good horn speaker and what should be avoided, but I really don't understand the science of all of this. I'm more like, heck, let's try this 1 uf cap in the tweeter circuit. Alright. Now, what will happen if we try 2 uf? Uh...that's a little too much. OK. How about 1.5 uf? On the money! This sounds the best! Most of my listening testing was done with my dear friend of many years, Cy Benneman. Cy builds - to my ears - the most musical amps I've ever heard and the little blue bugger one sees on the shelf on the photo is his 4w/ch el-34 triode strapped amp.
