some answers for you...........

I love the horns, I use the cd horn re-eq from the active crossover for much flatter highs out closer to 20k.

I like the cd horns because the tweeter level is just as flat far field (back of room) as near field. I am not used to hearing highs this clean in the back of the room. I love the tweets but do not have much experience comparing them to others. They remind me of the clarity and speed of a electrostat panel but can play louder then I need them to without straining the amplifier. Compression drivers need frequency compensation, and steep crossovers. Guys run 15s crossed at 500hz to tweets at 6db octave. That's a fast way to burn them and too much low frequencies modulating highs.

My room is 24 long by 13.5 wide by 8 high, Brick enclosed on 3 walls on a slab basement and 10" of foam stopping side reflections but only 2" on back wall.

Yes ab international are pro amps (they have a web site). The 900a's are thx certified and have switching rails. The 600a and 900a look like the leach schematics popular and sound good for the money. They aren't crown, crest, qsc or peavy, but the design is good.

How loud ???? Well tweets are 110db with 1 watt, they have 30 watts, mids are 108db 1 watt 4ohm, they have 300 watts, and subs are 2 boxes of a pair of 18s for a (102db) load of 4ohms per box, they have 400 watts rms. So loud and clean, I've never measured how loud as if I want it loud I have to leave the room or my ears ring especially strong at night when my head hits the pillow.
