"...do not forget that if you made the dramatic-enough angling then in order to preserve methodological purity of experiment you need to attenuate slightly the angled horn and it will most likely output more dBs to a listener located on axis of the angled horn..."
Yes, this is what I would have expected, but if you reread my post, you will see that in fact the opposite seemed to have been the case... That is to say with horns angled down I had a tendency to want to use a higher volume setting.
And yes, the angle of the upper horn was quite steep... Because of the nature of the support, the horn is currently sitting up a little higher than is the case with your frame; I listen from about 12 feet back (measured from mouth of upper bass horn).Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
