There is one more subject that most of the people are missing. I personally located horns not in-the-walls as most of people do but my horns are extended well into my room. I feel that this sounds way deferent but this is not the point. The point is that the back of the horn in my purely visual perspective might have some kind of termination accent. I do not like the flat line as everyone do and I would like to have some kind of balancing budge on the other side around the back chamber. This is from my perspective gives some kind of harmonizing completion if the enter horn, not to mention solidify and damps the back chamber. Below are a few pictures how the end budges looks like. I feel for a horn that sites in the mid of the room it looks sexier then the straight line ending. 



Romy,

Good point.

This is actually exactly the subject of conversation I had earlier today with Russ but I was talking about 'accenting' the end of the midrange horns. For a long time I had considered having that bulge ending the 115Hz horns but for some reason mistakenly imagined in my mind that the back chamber was a cuboid design which was not a continuation of the horn but its natural and contrasting end. I like and maybe prefer the bulging back end and maybe that will better match with the bullet shape ends of the horns I will eventually have made to replace the ones I will be using to experiment for now.

Food for thought...

Best regards
Rakesh
