    Small to medium sized rooms I like the 811's.
    For the large to extra large listening area the 511 works for me.
    Never heard the mantaray, would like too!

    I agree, and would just add that i also prefer the 811 crossed at 1200+. I think the 811's shorter acoustic path lends to slightly better VHF, but like a good trip it could all be in my mind.

    Re: Cost to build a Brand New Model 19

    Everyone seems to be all over the map on their XO points. Two crossovers from GPA are at least $200 and what if I pick the wrong one? Wouldn't it be just as cheap to go active with a cheap electronic XO and get a used Crown D75 for the HF?

    This one has a sub-out also.

    Re: Cost to build a Brand New Model 19

    How does one go about recreating the mid/tweet level control for the M19, does GPA sell them along with the crossover for the 19? I just saw a few nice sets of 811B horns for the 19, one set is a $60+ and the other just at $5 and change on ebay. Both sets look in very good condition
