sns, in order to make it work you would have to use a multi channel processor like a Trinnov Altitude 8 and use it's DSP to create the two cross over points then tri amp the K horns and measure the group delay of each driver. You delay the early drivers to match the latest ones.
Then you would run the room control measurement and finally you would use a measurement microphone system to check the results and make adjustments in delay as indicated and correct the frequency response so that the two channels match as perfectly as possible. I can usually get within 1 dB from 100 Hz to 10 kHz. I think that would do the trick but I could never be 10% sure without hearing the results. This approach works perfectly with Sound Labs speakers but the Acoustat 2+2 did not get there all the way and I am not sure why, probably the transformer I used.
I am not trying to be derogatory in talking about this. Only a small percentage of audiophiles have the experience of hearing a system that images at the level I am talking about. I doubt you would ever hear it at an audio show. In my experience only one system ever imaged this way without digital correction, the very first time I heard this, and as I said above I was flabbergasted. It took me another decade to get a system to imaging that way and it was probably more luck than brains the first time, I was using Apogee Divas.
My wife is dragging me out for a bike ride. Talk about it later.
