Yes although i had to move it to the rear a little to make the crossover work out. On axis, it sounded like a Synergy horn, it's off axis where it would be different. The 511 horn has a wide horizontal pattern but narrows in the vertical with increasing frequency and the woofer is still a separate radiation.
The big difference would be if you walked into a room where it was playing and you were well off axis, the room sound is noticeably "dark" compared to on axis where it's flat, due to the narrowing pattern with increasing frequency.
For a Constant Directivity source, the room spectrum off axis is essentially the same as the on axis response shape.
