Romy,
Here are some images of a slight variant of your Macondo Frame proposal.
This version has the Fundamentals horn more rigidly coupled (this may or may not be desirable) and does not require a counter weight. It may also be a little more compact, allowing you to place it nearer to your Lower Bass Channel towers.
To symplify construction, the "zig-zag" triangulation could be replaced with a sheet or a plate, acting as a shear panel.
Since your Mid Bass and MF horns are adjustable for time alignment, it may be worth mounting the Fundamentals horn on a sliding mechanism so that you can easily adjust it like your other channels. The HF channel could be fixed (non adjustable) and used as the reference for adjustment of all other channels.
Regards,
