Decoud,

Thanks for your comments.

Regarding Modular horns : Below is an image of what I originally had in mind for the mid bass horns.

40Hz cutoff / 8" throat / flare length 3m

I pulled this image from the jd project thread, so some here will have already seen it.

In the end I went for a 4-segment design having a round throat that transitions over the flare's length to a rectangular mouth. This I did for better coupling with the room (the transition was more difficult to model, but I'm hoping it will pay off, as the mouths are now big floor-to-ceiling rectangles intended to be placed up near the walls of the room).
