The response curves posted at zalytron on this midrange show its 30 degree off axis response to be impressively flat to cutoff. A lone inductor may tame the high frequency peak but to build a network to correct impedence takes us further down the road to what I was hoping to avoid, namely a complex network getting in the way of the music. Inductors, to my ears, are less offensive than capacitors in this regard. Two mids in close proximity would produce interference at frequencies an octave below 2.8khz so I guess It would not flatten out such a high frequency bump. Its difficult but I would like to find a way to cover all frequencies that the ear can distinguish direction with a single or dual crosoverless drivers and fill in high and low frequencies as needed. The sharp dropoff on the top end of this mid makes it a good candidate for no - or minimal crossover, I would think.
