Hey Tinitus,
As you are one of two guys who spoke up for the metronomes, and the comment implies that you seem highly selective, I am intrigues to find out more about the 'even me' part!
I don't have experience with the double mouth type horns. I did build the RCA-Fan (check audio asylum.com, high efficiency forum) rear horn with the Karlson opening. This enclosure has a lot of slam and bounce for rock music; goes great with Steely Dan/Donald Fagen and bebop jazz. I also built the BIB, which arguably sounded smoother but with less kick. The BIB with the smaller footprint was tucked into the corners so it saved a lot of space. Both speakers easily/effortlessly filled the room with sound. No strain that the smaller frs run into when pushed beyond its limits- easy to do when you want to feel the music.
As far as the 8" suitable for BLH drivers go, I have both the 208Ez and the 206ESr, but I prefer the former. Oh, also the Lowther DX4, which I blew up rather quickly and just sounded thin to begin with, to add insult to the injury.
I use an unbroken run of wire (thin gauge solid core, 47 Labs or Kimber 8TC) straight from my amp to the driver. Connection is with alligator clips as I change wire and drivers constantly. When you build the cabs, you can use plastic tubing in lieu of speaker terminals to route your cables through.
I suggest you to double the budget'n go for Crites Cornscala
above 100db of efficiency coming along your SE amps will give you a very nice-sounding system , also can rock down the walls if needed now and then
Thanks, but as mentioned, I have a limited budget and would prefer to explore full range! Doubling it is way beyond my WAF!
