Azura 425Hz is LeCleach flare (modified tractrix) not conical. At 425 Hz flare the crossover point of 500 1st order is awfully close to cut off frequency and should not sound optimal. JMLC recommends doubling the crossover fr so in your case 850hz for best results. I tried 288 in Edgar tractrix (also have Azura 550)and it sounds better crossed higher than recommended 500hz. I'd look at altec 19 crossover (1200hz) for a first take. Rgrds, W
