In the past, you didn't have to be in the USA to buy the ZXPC stuff (I got some horns sent to Australia). Maybe their ebay sales work differently to their website?

I use one rig with a (modified / extended) ZXPC mid horn in the near field. For that, the direct sound is much much louder than the room sound, and I like it.

In my living room, I have a very different system also based around a 2" horn, but wider throw and larger listening distance ...and I like that too.

So, for me, the question "Won't I lose a lot of the diffuse sound, and get something that is overly directive / dry?"

...means nothing. To me, both options can sound good :)

For what its worth, I wanted to like midrange compression drivers (I tried vintage JBL and Community M200), but I ended up going with cone drivers instead.
