I somehow feel that you should look into the vibration induced resonances that those rooftop horns might create. I'm not really familiar with the all-wood building techniques used in that side of the Atlantic but I have a hunch that unless you either decouple the horns from the structural frames or creat a new free-standing structure the room will rattle somewhat, a like a giant resonant speaker.

I was thinking about it myself. I do not know if horn will be able to create non-air transduced resonances that house structure will be able to pick up – I will be able to say it only when the horns installed. It might be a good idea to decouple the horns from structure; it might be not even too hard to do as it sound. Still I feel that hard-couple would be more productive. I think to tight the horns to trusses, taking advantage if the trusses’ mass and thickness.  In fact I am condensing to make horn a bit lighter then I would initially consider and to use the mass, the firmness and the steadiness of the roof frame to couple horns. It sure needs to be more analyzed.
