Yes, the Dresden’s talk about 40Hz horn and 90Hz horn as the similar horns, particularly if he does not want to "cheat", stroked me as odd too. 90Hz horn is a nice a manageable 40” piece of furniture. The 40Hz is the monster in a house and a good reason to divorce for some women. Also, it VERY hard to differentiate between the “accurate, smooth, full-bodied sound” at 40Hz and 90Hz as at those frequencies the location of the horns (The Macro-Imbedding) and the construction of the horn become too important. I ran 125Hz horn and am getting out it 95Hz in “hot spot” (not the best way to do the thing BTW), so God knows what Dresden will get with a hole 4 time larger. Still, unquestionably the 40Hz is WAY more powerful weapon to fight for good sound. I also do not at ease with notion that the low-passing of long horn is too bad. It is most likely Dresden’s will have a MF channel at 500-600Hz that will decay very fast. Still most of the bass drivers in a straight horn will shoot with excessive HF and the low-pass of a long horn will be good remedy against using a high order low-path crossover on bass channel.
