First, that is not a line array, that is a copy of a vintage JBL Caberet speaker cabinet, except for the tweeter being moved.
High end pro sound is this:

Also, his older designs at Servodrive.com are quite good.
If you want vocal clarity in a home brew design, I would at the very least recommend a three way design, using a midrange section operating from about 250-300hz, up to 2500hz. I would also horn load the mid and high freq. sections.
If you're fixed on the the home hi-fi angle, try some variations on Bruce Edgar's horn designs or others in the "High Efficiency" forum here. Earl Geddes provides great insights into design as well as Tom Danley.
You need to consider other things when doing live sound, directivety being one item-keeping the FOH sound output away from the stage and monitor system. Horns have very low distortion products when properly designed(Paul Klipsch was sooo right on many things).
Remember too, passive crossover components need to be designed with greater regards to power handling, and can get expensive. You may want to consider an actively crossed over system.
What kinds of mics are you using? This makes a huge difference as well. Placement and position onstage of mics, performers, and insturment amps also makes a big difference.
