3dB.
Bill, as always, thank you.
I may experiment with no 3 as I'm wiring it up, and see what the result is compared to the others. That's all that's left to do for the build to finish.

Wired up cab3 Series parallel on the tweets.
I'm accused of liking my tss tss toooo much, but the sensitivity of the tweets wired parallel is over the top for me!

So quickly did the same to one and two.

I am beyond my target date to finish these, but they are done 2 days before being required for use.

Here endeth a fairly intense period of builds.

Testing the WH8's today, my wife said "they are just so clear, but there's no tss tss". It's true

I now have (absolutely amazing) FOH and foldback...

Yes you do.

You also have a pretty handy, if oversized, home theatre, just quietly.

Arrr now then Gregory, good point.
If you knew my wife however, there's 2 chances of any of that coming into the house.
It's "music crap" and it's only place is with all my other "music crap" (drums lights etc), either at a gig, mine or someone elses, or in the music crap storage area...

She has been pretty tolerant of the time all this has taken to put together.

Oh, brain is mush.
While trying out the different tweets wiring, I flipped the EQ in and out as well.
With the series parallel wiring on the tweets, EQ off, and running at about 7V guestimated these things have some nice warm sounding punch putting various styles of music through them.

Interesting that Gregory brought up the HT before. It was the thought I had as well (just not for me cause I live with Bruce's wife's sister).
Bill a while back said in another thread that the Wedghorns aren't quite suited to home HiFi, but with them running as I described, my second thought was "hmmm satellites?". The first thought was "good grief, it's all done"... for today anyway.

Better get some sleep while I can...

The only difference between Texans and Aussies is the accent, and who they root for when watching 'Quigley Down Under'.

Well, there's that.....but don't their outhouses swirl in the other direction too?
