One easy way around any zoning issues with an added on room is to find a house with a large garage, knock down the garage and build the new space on the existing concrete pad. That way you won't have to worry about easements and how close you are to the property line, because the space you'd use has already been approved.
A custom built space remains my first choice; among many other benefits, I imagine it would allow the large horns to be located on the same wall, and firing in the same direction as the MF & HF horns. If theft is a concern, a custom addition could easily be made quite theft-proof. Give it a flat roof and you automatically gain outdoor living space.
Regarding heat finding its way up to the driver of a ceiling-mounted vertical horn: I don't yet have a good answer for that one. However, heat accumulating from the sun striking the roof of the attic would seem far more likely to exceed anything that would waft up from within the listening space. This had occurred to me; you'd definitely want a good pair of attic fans.
