Hi Freddyi,

The high pass filter I use looks like a third order filter. Next comes a small capacitor bypassed by a resistor, to equalize for the downward-sloping response characteristic of a constant directivity horn. Then I have a fixed L-pad, to level match and smooth the impedance curve (without which the highpass filter itself wouldn't work as advertised).

I also use some additional impedance-smoothing circuits (for compatibility with very low damping factor amps) as well as some response-smoothing circuits. You have to look at the off-axis response because there are on-axis phenomena that can mislead you, but really aren't audible in practice.
