I did 3 builds using it so far mostly on h250 waveguide and its kinda disappointed at least for studio use, at 106db/1m even when crossed at recommended 1800hz the distortion raise is really big, had to cross at 2100hz to reduce a lot, despite horn loading if you try to play even at 1400hz at 96db distortion raises hugely, the driver stops working great. I wouldn't mind it much but price isn't the smallest and the highs extension isnt great... So...

So the product seems to be very mediocre, I would switch to different driver next time as this seems to be poor value and performance.
Despite this you can still get quite good sound of it but expected much more on running it low and high level and realizing the distortion is huge below 2k at any louder than 86db (1m) volumes. From my testing crossing it at 1000hz gives you max clean volume to 86db/m above it you can still make it louder but distortion raises few times faster than target spl, at 96db you can cross 1400hz seems much more fine and I think most people won't notice much distortion, I used it for a while like that, and if you want louder 106db you need cross at least 1800 but from my tests 2100hz is gold spot and you can even listen to 116db or above but thats crazy for home. I used only 24db filters during those tests.
