DSP xover, time & phase correction for K-horns?

I wonder if any inmates have experience using a digital sound processors such as the DEQX to tri-amplify Klipshorns and get the time, phase and room corrections right. That was on my audio to do list until quite recently since I had a DEQX HDP-3, a pair of K-horns and all the needed tube amplifiers in my system, but I ended up selling the K-horns before I found time to try it. Programming the DEQX is a chore for me since I tend to be a perfectionist. It seems to me it would be a great way to correct most of the major problems of the K-horns and see how good they can really sound.

I was only using the bass bins of the K-horns with Oris 150 horns and Fostex bullet tweeters, but I had also listened to them full range and while there was much to love, especially dynamics, there were warts also.
I attributed those warts to unequal driver to listener distances and corner placement to the mid & high horns. The DEQX could solve the former problem and greatly improve the latter.

I replaced the K-horn bass with Bill Fitzmaurice HT Tuba subs (splendid woofers) and when a guy offered to come to my house and pick up the K-horns + pay my asking price away they went before I had time to try them triamped with the DEQX.
I dream of an America where a chicken can cross the road without having it's motives questioned.
