Thanks, Dave and agreed - I may well do. But, if Tannoy have been clever in their original cabinet design on the Definition and Dimension range, the compensation point may coincide with the crossover point with the tweeter, effectively eliminating the need for compensation. That would explain the very simple crossover that is used in the D900 compared with, say, the System 12/1200 DMT, which uses the same drivers, and would also explain the improvement in sound over the System 12/1200.
But really, I will not know until I build a cabinet and test it. I do see that Texas Instruments recently published an active crossover design which makes such compensation easy to add, so I am not too concerned about it at the moment.
