RE: High Efficiency Direct Radiator Midbass and Midrange Drivers

That is a nice sized room !!! The Altec 288's are very good drivers for midrange duty. Since you already have 4 EV 12l's that is a good place to start. I would use 2 per side sealed to get 90hz-100hz and run them up to 500hz where the 288's take over.

You could use the Faital horn but I would go to DIY Soundgroup site and get a 300hz tractrix horn. They have thicker material and I think will sound better. For the tweeter I would use a Fostex 900 series horn tweeter unless your budget is big enough to get the T500Amk2's ( Madisound )which is one of the best tweeters on the planet. You could use a simple 6db crossover between midrange and tweeter and tri-amp the midrange on down.

Just for information, give John Inlows site a look. There is some good info on horns and subwoofers. Good luck.
