What you ended up with, is similar to what I always ended up doing with similar "full range" drivers.

I have and used a pair of Fostex Sigma 168 drivers in a pair of Z horns. When I first bought and set em up, I liked what I heard. They have great revealing and dynamic sound. But the top and bottom end left much to be desired, FOR ME... Ended up adding a Visatone horn tweeter and a sub. Then the system sounded AMAZING to me. Seems allot of guys end up going in a similar way.

Not at all trying to slam the full range community. Just for me I always preferred the sound when I added some additional drivers. Ive been to a couple shows years ago. And I remember hearing a top end Terry Cain system. Rest the fine mans soul... Very impressive. I can see how he helped keep that scene alive.

I still wish I could hear one of these "full range" driver systems with a driver in one of those crazy large 150+ lb cabinets that say they reach down to around 30hz. That could really be amazing. Id have no problem adding a horn tweeter like what I did with a simple passive Xover. Power the whole thing with a nice tube amp. I bet it really could be breath taking...

I like seeing these home made unique projects. Keep up the cool work!

Oh BTW, I miss my XM9. Really wish Id never sold it now. Didnt know all the virtues of active amplification back when I first bought it... Oh well... Done lots of learning in this hobby and Im far from done...
