"...Going for exponential midbass is probably good idea; most likely I would do the same if I go for 50Hz horn..."
I responded :
"...I have been considering Hyperbolic/Exponential because... Mainly because I seem to remember it is somewhat shorter than pure exponential..."
I went on to list possible sonic advantages as well... See the original post here: http://www.goodsoundclub.com/GetPost.aspx?PostID=7836&Phrase=Details%20Mid
But getting back to the length; I was apparently incorrect in remembering the hyperbolic/exponential profile to be shorter than pure exponential. I found the following image on the "Rocket Science Canada" web page.
The author(s) of the Rocket Science Canada site wrote :
"...The shortest curve is a Tractrix expansion. The middle is exponential, and the longest is an exponential/hyperbolic contour..."
This same site also contains some information that may be of interest to those looking to get a handle on the basics.
