I am new to full range speakers but need more efficient ones for my Cary 805s. After reading on various sites about the merits and drawbacks of various drivers and speaker box designs I am interested in the idea of combining the Horneshoppe's Model 3 use of multiple FE126en drivers in the larger 11 3/4" wide Nagaoka style Sachiko dual front loaded horn. I would like a wide and tall soundstage along with clear imaging. I want to initially try to avoid adding a super tweeter or sub to augment the sound. I understand that using multiple drivers will increase overall efficiency but I have the following questions:
1. Will using 2 horizontally placed or a 4 square pattern of drivers lessen the wonderful imaging I read is created by single point full range drivers.
2. Will using (4) 4" FE126en drivers in place of one 8" driver work well in the Sachiko Dual FLH? What problems may it create?
3. Is there any issue with using Enabled drivers in a multiple pattern?
4. How important are exact dimensions in horn designs? Will fractions of an inch make a listenable difference in the sound?
I do plan on including a removeable/replaceable speaker baffle to be able to try out different combinations. I understand that it is the combination of the drivers and box that make it work.
