Hi Boy,

The horns do not have weird standing waves compared to...

In the low end I assume ?

Yes

And does the High end also have a "cutoff" frequency or is the high end
lets say +-3 to 20k?

No, the high frequency energy level is not affected by the Oris horns.

And the Phase plugs, is it what do they do a way to avoid early
reflections in the neck of the horn or do they phase allign the
high freqs with the lows? (or am I completly off)

The plugs phase only align the high frequencies. Early reflections are not "present" in the lower frequencies, the higher frequencies of full-range drivers are more driective do due to their dimensions (wave lengths smaller then the cone diameter) and therefore do not "hit" the horn walls.

This is not 100% true over the whole frequency range but in practise the advantages weigth much more that the disadvantages in terms of clarity and sensitivity.

It is thrill for me to see that you could actually build a studio mixing
and mastering (that is sort of what i do) system without a filter (xo)
whatsoever.

If you're looking for a monitor speaker then with the Oris horn and a good driver you'll have a very clear image showing exactly what you're doing behind the mixing table. All studio engeneers should use such speakers, this way I do not have to listen to their faults all the time, faults which they probably do not hear on their own monitors... :cry:
