In my first design, I kept them all in a vertical line. It had one channel less back then. When I added the 1" throat JMLC 1000, I decided, as the tweeter operates over 9.6k, the slight misalignment may not matter. Still, I kept vary and kept the frame tall, so if need to, I can put all the channels on a vertical line including the tweeter and the JMLC. I really am eager to experiment on both positions and try to learn to hear the differences.
I think getting the fundamental (in my case 2" tractrix 200 and Radian 850pb) and the upperbass (110 tractrix with supravox) right to start sounds like a good approach. Even the earlier post suggesting getting the upperbass alone right by itself is something I want to do. If I can get them to integrate well with each other and the room sounding fundamentally right, it would be a great step towards the right direction. It may be very beamy but it will not be a quality I would be looking for in a 2 way horn.
I got two Scanspeak 30w/4558T00 12" woofers (fs:17hz) today from a guy over internet. I will get two more and try a 4 channel bass array with sealed compartments. It seems 4 of them with proper amplification will perform without much stress up to my proposed systems levels. They will just need more power from their amps in relation to the rest.
I think I can understand you on a few points of getting it. My friends and some of them musicians and even an acoustics PHD friend thinks my system sounds very accurate and one of the best sounding system they have ever heard. This does not mean my system has these qualities. It means this is their evaluation based upon their experience. Until I got my system better and better, I thought it was sounding fine in a lot of ways. Listening to people play live around me a lot (nearly everyday) is a great chance for me. Recording people and listening to them in the same space is another. It also shows a lot about what is wrong with a lot of recordings.
I really don't mind if you come as or actually are a jerk, especially over the internet. I am more into content, I do not get hurt easily by what people say over forums. Lots of jerks can have good ideas, it would be stupid to miss out on them because of that
