"why would a first order on a comp driver be out-- especially given the other things you were saying-- e.g. matching directivity and distortion capacities to the driver?"
Unless you are crossing over above 1500Hz or so, there is just too much energy hitting the diaphragm. Especially at 700hz or below.
The distortion level of most compression drivers i 1-2% even with one watt.
The power handling drops dramatically below 1500Hz as well.
The diaphragms are very fragile- it only takes one party to wipe out your TAD at 6 dB.
Also using a steeper slope with a notch filter will help with the acoustic phase.
I would say, you could get away with a 4.6 uf, or 6.8uf if you are careful.
Finally, horns unload fast, so you want a horn with the right Fc if you do use a 6dB.
But, I come from the P.A. world, many a sad story to tell- perhaps I am over cautious.
