Fs of the driver is measured at 32HZ matched for both channels.

Manolis, if you have 32HZ of loaded driver resonance and a large throat in such a short horn then I would propose that you have your 50HZ not from the loading but from the fact that the mouth of your midbass horn acts as  a port of your midbass enclosure. The 50HZ it most likely the room response, anechoicly it would be much higher.  It is hard to estimate where the port loading get conversed into horn lording but I think with 32HZ resonance, 1/8 size of 50Hz horn and a large 12”-15” throat it sounds to me that such a design does not load very much into LF. Did you try to make out of room bass driver response of naked driver vs. the loaded driver and to correlate it with impedance curve?

As for a smaller driver, the smaller throat, keeping the "same" length for practical reasons wouldn't load it sufficiently. Giving it a few feet more length would be a choice but we would end up with a weirder looking final design. Even as it is the criticism is quiet heavy on the looks. Plus phasing would be much harder keeping the beaming of the rest of the ways as it is now (averaged ear level at least for the mid).

I know now very much what you mean. The weirder looking final design is a bitch with hors!!!
