thank you Art, I appreciate the comments. This is more or less where I was going with all of this. I like the idea of the horns covering the main listening area only to as low a frequency as possible. I would at a guess figure that I would need a horn 26 -30 Inches square at the mouth and likely a metre deep if the angle were 40 degrees.
Yes I agree that size is getting very large to deal with. That is where the age old compromise comes into play. There is always a gotcha moment in every project where compromise was not considered from the outset. I am in an an apartment so some compromise will be necessary. So now I have some rough dimensions to work with. This sounds like a job for the CNC controlled router machine. Male a roundish horn with biscuits to align everything up and make assembly much easier. Will have to make some calls ad find out how much having the parts machined up would cost. Thanks again. best regards Moray James.
