A guy from DIYAudio posted information about his project:

I the idea behind his endeavor and it sounds to me as he used right reasons to get where he is. As a criticism I would point out that his upperbass horn a bit underperform as it has too large through. To do it smaller would lead to longer upperbass horn and more complexity with mount it under MF horn. However, if you look at the size of the MF horn then it is too big for THIS configuration as his upperbass and the channels above will cover sub 1000Hz very nicely. So, instead of 300Hz MF horn I would put a smaller horn, that would let the upperbass to be longer, with covering the MF.

All together is very good setup. If he uses good drivers (I do not know his drivers) then it have a potential to sound very good. Everything is time-aligned (or has a potential to be), there is no typical Goto stupidity – wonderful. I feel that my efforts are not wasted.

Another thing is purely appearance. The tweeter arm I would like to be made not diagonal but horizontal, but it is the matter of taste….

It is interesting how the trapped horn sound in his situation ss it needs to run all the way up, not to mention to be a trapped horn….

BTW, if the guy used Tannoy GRF and with proper driver (not the contemporary Tannoy crap) then I wonder how much time it will take for him to reinvent my Injection idea….
