PA speakers are often designed for Volume, clarity, weight and size. Absolute bass extention is not normally the aim, mainly because bass end of a rig is what requires the power. I'm not a believer in long throw bass systems, because I don't believe that they ever work sucessfully. Bass usually carries anyway. Look at it this way, when you go to a outdoor festival you can be several miles away and you can hear the bass, mid and treble are a different prospect, and horn loaded cabs definately have benefits there. For the sort of system you seem to be talking about, a decent stand PA, supplemented with a couple of bass boxes probably will do you. It may pay you to build this yourself especially if you plan to actively drive the system. Will require a lot of working out if you plan to crossover passively. If this is the sort of system you are planning I wouldn't worry about horn loading mid, and certainly not the bass. if you are playing to over 500 indoors and 1,000 people outside horn mids might become an issue, but at that stage you are going to want multiple cab set-ups. Look around the various links you have got, and the site that my fellow poster gave you, should come up with several good ideas from that. Have fun!Roland
