Plans to go with 186 horn

Seeeing that the 186 horn is now in its 21st year I guess that this question has been asked before.

The 186 is loud & not very deep in its bass response compared with more modern tastes. But is optimised for mid bass frequencies anyway. So a matching mid top from that era would be the MT122 which is efficient enough to keep up.

Most would probably recommend buying some active speakers on poles these days, as its getting increasingly difficult to compete with the performance of these with DIY builds.

Doing a lot of research and there are other views about this topic and saying a kick bin would complement the 186 horn.

Im planning to build 4-6 in total so maybe there might be enough low end there.

The Mt122 has been on my list of possibilities and could be the one I go with, I was looking for more of a unique design but also want it to function so dont want to sacrifice sound over uniqueness.

Yea I have active gear as well and there are more modern designs to go with but for me there is something about the 186 horn with its low end sound and frequency, also not a straight forward build and design which gives it that personality when built right and keeping the old sound system culture is important I feel regardless of what you build, a lot of people have built sound systems before me and each one has its own sound and uniqueness which is the result im going for
