If I remember correctly, EAW was looking at using digital correction on some of their high-end PA stuff to actually try to address this. This isn't standard IIR "digital EQ", but rather sophisticated time-domain FIR filtering based on numerical simulations of the wavefronts in their horns. In a nutshell, I think it amounts to impulse response correction via emission of compensating signals to 'null out' the component reflected from the mouth. It would eat into your headroom, but might actually work. Highly non-trivial, though, and it doesn't generalize particularly well - each system is a one-off.Earls solution is certainly more practical. I have some of the reticulated foam (30ppi stuff from foambymail) that I"m planning on using for plugs for my U15's. I'm very curious as to the impact.
