Romy,
You make very, very good points now I am re-evaluating this all-in-one horn concept. I do know one thing that I learned from my current system. Midbass horn that rolls off below 120 hz and integrated with sub is not good. I have struggled with this format for 2 years with no successful solution and this led me to explore a more expanded midbass channel. The transition from 120hz horn to direct radiator subs is not possible to be seamless without significant loss of focused sound. Some may like this "artificial fuzziness region" but to me it is better to push it down in the frequency range. However, I think you are correct. It may be that true 80hz midbass will be perfectly good and in a different league compared to 120hz. I think what made me look past this 80hz was my bad experience with 80hz straight Edgar horn that I had. But now I will take your advice and curb my excitement with the 60hz "brute force" approach. I will think carefully about something like 70-80hz solution. Very good points and I thank you again.
