	Hi there, I'm hoping someone can help me troubleshoot an issue that i am having with some comp drivers in MT121. Originally, I had the cabs loaded with P-Audio BMD750 and was seeing an issue where the audio dropped off steeply arund 10Khz. I thought the BMD-750s were crapping out above 10k because they are 2" comp drivers and apparently that is A Thing. To try and rectify the situation, I picked up some BMS 4555. However when I measure the new comp drivers driver using REW I am still seeing a pretty steep drop off around 10K. * Measurement of BMS 4555 (laptop > soundcard > amplifier > BMS4555): `* Measurement of BMS 4555 (laptop > soundcard > processing > amplifier > BMS4555)` `processing is just some EQ to smooth stuff out` `~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` My expectation (hope) was that the 1.5" comp drivers would behave better above 10Khz but that's not what i am seeing. The comp drivers are attached to a P-Audio P2723 2" horn (with 1.5" -> 2" adapter). So, I'm a little stuck as to how to proceed. I'm wondering if the issue is being caused by the P2723 horn. Maybe i f'ed up and bought the wrong horn and i need to buy different horns? However, before I spend more $$$ on new horns/shipping, I wanted to get a 2nd opinion on the above issue cos maybe I am missing something or maybe there is some more troubleshooting i can do.. If it is the horn, can anyone give an opinion on the BMS2230 horn or the B&C ME60 paired with the BMS4555? Am also open to other suggests.
