Wow, what a tit 
Good old Tugger - he was one of my absolute favourites to bait on WW back in the glory days - and back then he had exactly the same MO as you just described: an opinion on everything / a clue about nothing. He’s even more Dunning-Kreuger than Tuffbob - he has a politician tier ego. He used to take it really badly too - snotty PMs to James, several epic flounces, but of course mods DGAF back then.
I miss those days…

Ah yes he of the spamming posts with speaker waterfall graphs he doesn’t understand 
The more you point this out the more graphs he posts in response.
What a tool.

Now amping horns and bass cabs separately, using the M7 and a second Aiyima (until I collect the flea-power amp this weekend) . Sounding great

Sounding great = better then before? (one amp only?)

Yes, much - having 3 volume controls to play with (4 if the sub is included) is making it far easier to balance the overall sound.

Yes👍
You’ll be itching to get DSP X/Os, time alignment - phase, even horn mouth, PEQs etc in no time😂

This won’t work. You end up fucking with all the crossover points. You can’t use driver levels as tone controls.

So, why is it sounding better now than anytime since Kevin installed the horns?

Come and have a listen if you don’t believe 
People like Linn Kans too.

Never heard any, so wouldn’t know 
Linn Kanns were bought due to mass delusion! They’re like BBCs but without the good bits
Anyway a couple of dB up and down won’t do much to the XO, how flat did they measure?
You don’t mess up the X/O points per say. They stay the same. They would get shifted with massive cranking though.
You just bring a whole driver SPL range to more prominence or send it back.
If measuring of each driver and adjustment via L-Pad tweaking was not done at the time of install on the one amp then Jim is adjusting it to his reality.
Also to his ears.
It should be fairly subtle though. Not cranking gobs of dB in there.

Yes you do and no they don’t. You can really mess up the crossover and how it’s behaving. Use tone controls or eq, dsp whatever it you want to mess with the response.
Not a chance by ear.

“Not by ear” - that’s just untrue. Ear is incredibly sensitive, esp to over SPL.
I regularly tweak SPL by ear, after measuring has set up.
He would be better off measuring and being able to tailor the X/Os and SPL first yes.
But this is a first step and he’s liking it…

There is a difference between measuring, and then dialling it all in a few db here and there, probably remeasuring etc than just twiddling 3 reality knobs with no guidance until it sounds nice.

What are you so afraid of?
He can always un-twiddle them!
Go back to one amp if wanted.
Nobody’s getting hurt
