I’d imagine those Great Plains drivers also would be very good. Stage 2 of my system will be compression drivers in home built constant directivity horns, I have the drivers for whenever I get to that.

Does anyone have experience with both PHL and JBL mids?

For mid highs from 300HZ to 7000HZ :Altec (GPA) 390 driver.

For horn the Mr 94B range starts at 300HZ.

I've been intrigued by these. Apparently, ex-Altec folks still making vintage sounding new compression drivers?

I've been impressed with the sound of compression drivers more and more recently. They can sound quite good, but I wonder if they measure as good as cone drivers when used under say 90db at listening distance...

I plan on using a conically loaded eminence alpha 6 for my midrange. There is also a website a gentleman has made detailing some excellent phase plugs for this driver. He claimed a response from 300-4000hz which sounds very useful to me. These drivers sound quite fine on their own and I am excited to build a horn for them. I also plan on running them open backed to avoid as many resonances as possible.
This sounds to me like a very good midrange solution.
Good luck!
