Was thinking about this. I have some old small PA speakers that are used for rehearsals and very small gigs. I had to replace the bass drivers a few years back as some lunatic fried them with a clipping amp - don't lend out stuff to mates for a party

How about this
1) throw crossover away
2) dope bass drivers and use full range
3) add an up firing mid or two (slightly doped)
4) keep the horn
5) Usual cap (3.3uf or lower) & padding resistor
I don't know if the semi Omni principle will work for PA speakers ? I can think of some issues like matching levels between drivers. Don't want to have to pad a bass driver if I can get away with it. Also I guess it helps if PA speaker drivers are very sensitive because of the levels they are sometimes driven to (be kind to your amp) although we never do very big gigs. At high power Ievels will just a cap on the tweeter (horn) be enough to protect it ?
I love the semi Omni thang so much I wanted to spread the love to the other members of my band and the audience. The amount of times I have winced at concerts because of the poor (often too loud) sound quality is getting very tiresome.
