If you plan to use these for home audio, it MIGHT be possible ( you need to check with someone who really knows about horns) to lower the xover between woofer and midrange to 800Hz or maybe 600Hz wich would probably help clarity of voices and midrange in general.
You may even be able to find someone able to redesign new crossovers more oriented for hi-fi use (Al Klappenberger comes to mind but there are many).
Keep in mind a PA speaker has a crossover optimized for maximum power handling and maximum output. You might be able to use a different crossover if 127dB is not your ultimate goal.

Horn Squak By Lowering Crossover ? - ka7niq 09:27:37 08/21/17 (2)
That may be a great idea!
Yes, these will never see professional use, only my listening/family room.
I was told you have to be careful crossing to a horn mid range too low, because it can cause Squak ?
Besides power handling issues.

  That's where my knowledge stops. Wether it will or will not be doable depends on the compression driver and horn used. More specialized people may help you :)
  My horn sound great with a 400Hz crossover. ;) but the midrange horn has a low enough cutoff, and the midrange driver is able to be crossed that low without damage, wich is probably not the case with yours.

    Then, I need a Cerwin Vega V 36D crossover schematic.
    There is a guy up at Madisound who is a Ham Radio Operator like me, who is into Horns, big time!
    I bet he would help me
