I just love the way this Carfrae looks!

I have been tempted to make something similar, but turn it into a front loaded horn (of course), say turn the driver around and add a back chamber on the back of it. Make a nice volume tuning device. And then maybe turn the whole horn around so it faces the front, take the triangle thing off and leave it sort of looking down, that will give the bass wave some time to mature....

Just one "bend" but it is 180 degrees...

The way the compression chamber works with the exit on one side should also add distortion. I such a desgin the driver should be looking upwards, to avoid this, but that brings even more problems IME.

Would be nice to work it out from say 200- 150 hz down to 50 or 40 hz, maybe even 30 hz. the original specs said 20 hz, but that was using the wall reflection.
