I think you are incorrect. Even if the horns do have some internal
belly then they still look more conical then exponential to me. The edit of the
horn does look very conical. It is not that I said that being conical is wrong
itself but in THIS configuration I do not think that conical-like termination
is justifiable. They tried to make the horn proportional to the bottom and they
did excellent job. However by doing it they decupled the horn from floor. So,
having a slow opening profile they gained ~3dB at bottom knew but loosing the
floor they might lose those 3dB. It is hard to guess anything as I do not know
how and where they crossed the open-baffle bass atop. Let presume that it was
let say 100Hz. How to play with the top response of the open-baffle, bottom response
of the mysterious profile midbass horn and the type room mode in the 100hz is a
complicated subject. The good thing that they have virtually unlimited upper knee
of the open baffle but here is a funny part- I do not know how they organized
the baffle. I presume that two angled drivers shoot in the whole under the
upperbass horn – very elegant and very efficient. With good drivers like Klangfilm
405 for instance they can get a reasonable sound out of it.

Might be I need to hook them up with Steve the Farmer, he is
from the same region; runs his winery somewhere in there and even became some
kind of local politician.
