Koh,if time alignment is critical (in my world it is), the sources of the sound (the driver diaphragms) need to be aligned. A very long exponential horn and a short tractrix are not „impossible“ to align, but what reflective surfaces ftom the exp. horn mouth are in the way for what comes out of the tractrix horn?Simply draw a front and side view of your potential installation and think about soundwaves, the coverage of each horn and integration of all the pieces - sonic and cosmetic. Look at some successful horns like Cessaro, Kornhent, or Romys system well documented here. Think about why the designers did what they did.If you take the time to think about what I posted, you will not be insulted. If this is one of those „pride of ownership“ threads, I am the least of your problems. No one here will spoon feed anyone as it does not lead to any proper results.My recommendation to ask John Inlow stands. You can ask him why he does what he does and he will be able to tell you - with no BS.Horns are decade devices and trying to extend LF for a given horn results in honk - sometimes you can deal with it, but often not. John can tell you about this too. John knows me as „Robin“ so you don‘t have to hide that fact if you do communicate.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
