Yes, but you are familiar with the compression driver and horns. How could somebody control the size of the audio window, formed by his midrange channel, using horns? If I remember correctly, you chose your Vitavox S2 driver because of its tone, so you deal with a fixed diameter of the horn’s throat (that means fixed size of the audio window, without option to be controlled). But is it optimal? How could one adjust it without changing the compression driver? I also remember you decided to load it in 440Hz horn based on the frequency range it will play after the high-passing. But is the size of that 440Hz horn enough to reveal the background of the sound? Yes, I realize the bigger the horn, the worse it plays in the upper part of its range, but how could one adjust all those contradicting variables by just using given compression driver in a given horn?

Sorry, I am not following what you are trying to say. My familiarity with compression drivers has nothing to do with it and my selection of 440Hz horn for S2 was because the S2 specifics not because my consideration of audio window. The term “audio window” – we need to define what it is as I think you and me use different definition what audio window is. In my view audio window is not geometrical term and I do not work on “shaping” it.

It doesn’t have to happen, despite the current positioning of one of your stereo channels. Actually it doesn’t have to happen even if that channel is put in the corner. Do you think there is a position in your room where that channel will present the sound in a way that you won’t be able to feel any deficiency of the recreated space?

Oh, yes, it would not happened if speakers are located in corners but my speakers are very much not in the corners but in the mid of the room. I do not like the corners positioning, even for corner-loaded speakers and it always flatten out the back wall. Again, I am not following what you are trying to say. With disconnect one of the channel in my configuration I do lose a lot of “space” but I do not consider it as something wrong. This is absolutely normal in my case as my room and my entire listening environment are built around a pair of speakers.  I do not use single left or right channels, unless I calibrate measure or test. With two channels on I feel that I have no problem with “recreated space deficiency”. If I had objective to drive my room from one channel it would be completely different design a but I have no such objectives.
