I thought I had read that the volume of the 3x15 cabinet wasn't really large enough for the 3 15" speakers, so I've always figured maybe with just two speakers and a horn it would be more ideal. Of course, I suppose it depends on which speakers are inside. Has anyone ever done a Thiele-Small calculation for that cabinet and some of the offered speakers (JBL, Altec, CTS)?

Plus, if you use two such cabs (with 16ohm speakers), you'd be presenting a 4ohm load to the amp(at least, in the lower frequencies), which is the ideal(lowest) impedance the K200s are meant to drive. You could always wire in a pad to be able to dial in the horn if you like that, or just dial it out altogether. I'm not sure how risky adding the horn in would be, impedance-wise, so maybe that isn't a good idea.

The 3x15 rig was always so impressive - having two of those suckers, well.....
