Hello Jeffrey,
BUILDING UPON the inherent/latent Lloyd Wright-esque and Frank Gehry-esque aesthetic potentiality of your midbass horn design, and visually integrating the total horn package as a system within these aesthetic schools (or derivatives thereof) may become a personally rewarding endeavor for you, and a publicly well-received direction to take your future loudspeaker designs!

While the connection between 'good music' and the Hollywood Bowl aesthetic is obvious, indeed the marriage between the historical origins of horn loudspeaker technology and the Hollywood Bowl has historical precedent. I have before me copies of original 1933-1937 articles kindly given to me by Steve Schell describing the development at Bell Telephone Laboratories and installation by Western Electric's marketing subsidiary Electrical Research Products, Inc. of Dr. Harvey Fletcher's visionary horn loudspeaker sound reinforcement systems into the Hollywood Bowl. If executed well, the marriage between postmodern ultra-fidelity derivatives of original horn loudspeaker technologies with the aesthetic schools refenced above could grow to become an organic and, yes, even genetic synergy for both the Senses and the Psyche.
Regards,
Neil
