...but most people ignore radiation patterns. The subject is either inconvenient, boring, or annoying to most; taking radiation patterns into account usually complicates your system while limiting your options (you can no long simply pair up the "best" midrange with the "best" tweeter); and the connection between radiation patterns and perception virtually never makes it into the audiophile press so it has very little credibility with most people.
As an aside, the symptoms described by gluca in his first post don't sound to me like distortion in the 4001 is the issue. Hence my follow-up questions in another post, which might have shed some light on whether the problem was a lack of high frequency energy in the reverberant field (judging by its geometry, I would expect the Iwata horn to beam at high frequencies).
Regardless of whether the problem is distortion or beaming or his preamp tubes or whatever, I strongly agree with your recommendation of high-end Fostex tweeters over ribbons for pairing up with horns.
