Yeah six white whales in one living room does seem to be a bit extreme I guess. I am interested in the technique, anybody got any info on this? Thanks and best regards Moray James.

IMO 3 per side is an excersize in futility. One per side with the rest of the system matching it's capabilities, and what will have is: a world class system. Sell the other 4 units and let someone else achieve this standard of excellence.
I've had mine for about two months now, and I'll NEVER use a cone midrange again. Just for the record, I use the EV DH1506 drivers.
Curious to know what other large horns you may have listened to? Any chance you have auditioned the Klipsch K402? The K402 is about the same width but is roughly ten inches higher than the HR9040. Best regards Moray James.

"Any chance you have auditioned the Klipsch K402? "
I would say YES to that only IF that is the horn on the top of the Jubilee? It's been quite a while since I listened to the (domestic version) Jubilee, but I remember the mids were fine, the ultra highs chopped off, and the bass sounded just like a folded bass horn sounds.
Other big horns i have listened to:
1) The Sierra/Brooks (huge) tractrix 140's loaded with EV DH1a's, which sound wonderful, save for the extreme highs (above 15k rolls off)
2) The ORIS 150's loaded with Lowther DX-3's which i thought was the most amazing sound from 220 hertz ALL the way up.
I do believe that ROUND tractrix horns are better suited for operation from where ever they are crossed to "all the way up"
vs. 90x40 horns which are better suited for multi-way operation which is how it is in my situation. i.e. I use a tweeter
If you search this: Electrovoice HR9040 horn/DH1012 Score!!!
you might, just might find a willing seller, he claims to have 3 pairs
of the HR9040's
best regards, Scott L
Also 4 EV or community horns not sure, for 2in comps these are large good too 300hz or so non CD. I would sell cheap or trade etc. Maybe give away if I like the cut of your jib and I need to do no packing lifting hand holding ;) etc.
You have a PM on the way. Best regards Moray James.

Scott: yse the K402 is the horn that you heard on top of the Jub. it is a little bit wider than a HR9040 and about ten inches taller than a HR9040 and you likely hear it with a K69 Klipsch driver(the stock driver). Thanks for your comments on the other large horns that you have heard and for the lead to a possible pair of HR9040 horns. I am interested in these large horns but not convinced I have the space or the money to fly a pair. I was interested to learn how EV had set up the stacked three horn arrangement. I had considered using such a set up with three 5 x 15 inch JBL clones which are inexpensive. The combined horn size of 15 x15 is reasonable and should have good pattern control far lower than a single horn would achieve. I have also considered going with a Lambda Unity Horn with a mouth of about 16 inches square. Thanks again for your help and especially your comments and suggestions. Best regards Moray James.

I would love to hear just one pair of HR9040 but three pair would be a giggle for sure. I am interested in the triple stacked configuration which EV (Keele?) came up with and DJK tells me there are EV app notes available but I have not been able to find them. I am considering the triple stacked arrangement with a much smaller horn. Any direction or even picture links would be useful. Thanks. Best regards Moray James.
