Hello Gandral,

Charts are nice and all to get an idea of what's happening, but the only real way to know if your 45 year old ears miss anything, will be to build the enclosures you want to use with those two Betsy K full range drivers. Then once you start playing music, in your room, via your equipment and listening to music with your ear/brain, that's when you'll know if your 45 year old ears miss anything!

I can tell you that I use Fostex FE208ES-R drivers ---{which weren't yet installed in photo above}--- and these almost 57 year old ears definitely missed things without adding tweeters to cover from 8Khz to 25Khz, but then again that's using my drivers in their enclosures, playing music, in my room, via my equipment and listening to music with my 57 year old ear/brain. Hope that helps...
