Frazier Mk.4 speaker's

I had a pair of Fraziers and I'm pretty sure they were IV's but they had removable foam grills in a block pattern. Later I had a pair of Frazier Conte Carlo's with cloth grills which I believe were older. Very efficient speakers but sadly the 100 watt Sherwood I powered them with at the time made for a mismatch.
 
Yeah. On my 15 wpc tube amp they really work. Not tried them on my Marantz 1060 but they should be rather primo on that too. These are my first horn tweet speakers.
 
A sad day yesterday! I had a customer show up to purchase my Forte II's and he noticed the Frazier MK-IV's sitting on top of them. After a demo of the Forte's hooked to a Fisher KX-200, he asked to hear the Frazier's since I mentioned that those that get a listen are usually hooked. He was in aw after hearing and said they sounded better than the Forte speakers :). I warned him! He ended up purchasing both pair of speakers not leaving until I relented on wanting to keep the MK-IV's.

A big void here now, I will be searching for replacements! :(
 
I remembered I had a pair in storage that I restored many years back, needless to say I was very happy to remember them and put them to use. Paired with my Fisher tube gear they are superb!

The Mark IV's are the 1st set of Frazier's I bought. They sound great powered by my HK 330c receiver. Next, I bought a set of 1st generation Monte Carlos. Nice design on the cabinets, but have not had a chance to properly set them up, (very clear). Lastly, I bought 2 pairs of F12-4H. They were designed for PA work, but sound pretty nice when you tame down the treble. They each have a 12" woofer, surrounded by 4 7" horns. I have a pair suspended in the garage for that system. Very lively.
 
So i gotta ask, setup on these, i realize nobody can give me a perfect answer due to obvious room variations. But these seem super setup dependent. Any tips? I love the detail on the top end, but i think overall i prefer my klh model 5s in their presentation. They are much fuller sounding. BUT, the eay i had the mark IVs setup, the imaging and detail on acoustic guitar work was astounding. Anyone think i could use these in a stack or combined system? Running off a pioneer sx 1010.
