Need help selecting drivers for DIY 3 way or 4 way music/home theater speakers

[HCSGuy]

This is a hobby because there is no one correct answer - the only thing you’re going to get agreement on is that MDF is still too expensive

That said, build a test box for one of your 10’s and a woofer, and put together a simple 3-way with your Heil so you can do some listening and see if there’s anything that is satisfying to you in that set. If the Heil gives you goose bumps, chase a solution that uses it. If not, try a horn. Have fun and experiment.

[Mr. Widget]

Avoid the radial horns, they are no match for constant directivity designs. The 2370 is a better sounding horn than either of them but if you do indeed have a set of 2344s those are better sounding yet if you want a large listening area for home stereo use.

Disagree.

Agree.
