Ah, your horn this way does not have own axis and the axis of the back plate become actually the axis of the horn? This way you get rid the ugliest element of co-axising – the integration of the axis of horn and the back plate. Very-very cool indeed! I wish I was able to do it. My MF driver has two metal plates that have a few mm freedom between each other allowing them to be re-centered.
It looks like a very elegant solution of the centering problem but in practice it is not so elegant and more pain in ass.
BTW, in your scenario the center pipe that is sitting in the throat looks like smaller then 1.5”. Does it mean that you will eventually open up the horn intake diameter with sand paper until the throat hit the S2’s output diameter?
Do not tell me that in order to do so you will be using the methods that Zeiss used in 30s when they polish their Leica! Well, it will be one way to assure your new horns’ Wife Acceptance :-)
