Decoud,
There is a lot of information on the subject of architectural horn design on this site. I would advise you to read older posts, use search. You might start from this one:

I do not see anything crude in what you are trying to do. If you want to test the building method then I personally would go for smaller horns perhaps…
What I am against in what you say that you associate your projects of horns installation buildings with amplifier design, would it be mine or any other. I would advise to you if you wish to build a 4-ways horn system then do so. Use your 845-based SET to drive them and get good sound from your new acoustic systems. Then assess what specifically you feel is wrong or insufficient in the Sound that you get. If you conclude that the specific problems that you will identify were on the responsibility of amplification then you might try other SET, including my Melquiades.

This, from my point of view, is the right way to approach the subject. I would not use an amp as a tool to cure the potential problems of experimental acoustic system.
