Well, a few things that I need to note.
If you or anybody else are trying to make an impression about own installation and use video then please make a relevant video. The video you made is irrelevant as it shows absolutely nothing. What is the purpose to hear irrelevant music and to see how white your horns are? Do you think that if you are trying to solicit any sensible comments about your installation then people would make from the video you posted? I do not think so. Your video did not give any idea about the location of your horns in the room and that is the sole purpose to shot video.
Anyhow, in the picture it looks like you employed 140Hz-125Hz tractrix horn, I presume with 4” throat. That is right move. I would advise to position it under your tweeter and to move the Duo bass section on the sides, outside the horns. You also might want to excrement with Duo MF driver in that MF horn. I would say prior to it try my Injection channel concept and see if Duo MF might be “colored”. Then you will see yourself that Duo MF is in tonal neutered side and you might discover needs to deal with it. If you willing to keep anything as it then it is fine as well but put your new upperbass horn out of the speaker, not inside as you have it now. If you have no room on the sides then be advised that it does makes sense (to a degree) to move channels slightly closer to each other in order to accommodate the upperbass outside of the speakers. When you do put the upperbass on the side then you can get some space advantage (and imaging advantage) if you tilt the whole speaker horizontally slightly toward to your shoulders. You might even to horizontally tilt upperbass to target lest say 3-5feet off your shoulder and to target MF to 1-2 feet from your shoulder. You need to be careful with it as it will eventual disintegrate sound but with certain sensibly of doing it you shall be able to get better result (tonally and imaging) then what you have now.
