Cool setup!
Seems to me that the 803A might squeak up to 1200hz but I'm wondering if that little horn can play comfortably down that low. I haven't tried it yet myself.
Altec LF specs on some horns are a bit ambitious, or perhaps tuned for presumed lo-fi applications. I have scavenged 32b horns with cheap 720 PA drivers attached as used for full-range paging/announcement service.
The 414A/Z can play full range without sounding scratchy and garbled, so you can get the crossover out of the vocal range and to a point where the horn is cruising easy.
As reported above, I was digging the sound with 414A full range and the 32B horn floating in at 6k or so, first order, but the setup could easily handle a 3k xover and all of the drivers would be happy. The 414 and the 32/802 were extremely well matched in "flavor" and a natural pair.
