If I were in your situation and have 2m long 100Hz horn that I like then I would not dive into any 200Hz la-horns. Make your 200Hz horn up-to let say 1000-1200Hz. Then take your 550Hz and run it from 1200Hz to 10.000 and up. Vice and configure this two driver confutation in order to get good sound. Play with MF drivers to get the best articulation, contrast, dynamic and etc. Then add tweeter and whatever MF section you use. Then, only after then and after spending a few months of listening it as is you can introduce fundamental channel. The channel shall overperfom the top knee of upperbass horn and lower knee of your MF. My estimation, with knowing the driver you use at your upperbass would be that your slow opening horn will give up it’s position at approximately 400hz. How far you need to run fundamental channel is not up to you but up to empirical behavior you will observe. If you feel that your fundamental channel has more interesting sound then your lower MF then the answer is to move up in crossover point.….
Well, I'll be happy to keep this horn, but it is really too big to fit with other channels.As I understand clearly, you drop the idea of multicell horn mostly because it also was too big to integrate together with other channels.This is the render of my idea to keep this horn:

Anyway, I'll follow your suggestion and play with current setup to move crossover frequency between MF and HF down from 3000hz to 1000Hz.
My 550Hz horns are just done by Martin from AzuraHorn and tomorrow will be sent to me, so very soon I'll have chance. I ordered with 1" and 1.5" throat to play with different drivers.

With LF in my current setup I don't have space to play as there is a gap between capabilities of current LF and MF, so I'm waiting for big 2m horn which is capable to play up to 500Hz.
