Nice site, Romy! Space is the Bomb!
Regarding the remodel, it would be easier to speculate if we had some photographs of the areas we are discussing.
At this point, speaking abstractly, it looks do-able, even if those rafters are trusses that had to be taken out. But it generally comes down to cost/benefit, doesn't it?
I think you would do well to +/- settle on the horns themselves before you start on the house structure. That way you can possibly use parts of the house as parts of the horn, and vice versa. Based on what I've seen so far, it might also help if you can accept truss "cords" in the horns.
Anyway, I'd love to tackle a project like this, and I'm sure there are worthy pros in your area who would be quite enthusiastic about it.
Do not be surprised if the pros tell you that the attic solution does not look like a weekend project. In fact, be good and sure that anyone who says otherwise knows what he's talking about before you write any checks.
No one ever listens, but if you go for it, then I would highly recommend you stay where you are until all work on the new place is complete; then move.
BTW, your drawings appear to show what would likely (in the real world) be a vibrating diaphragm covering a lot of ceiling area.
Shades of the "shaker"...
