In my first design, I kept them all in a vertical line. It had one channel less back then. When I added the 1" throat JMLC 1000, I decided, as the tweeter operates over 9.6k, the slight misalignment may not matter. Still, I kept vary and kept the frame tall, so if need to, I can put all the channels on a vertical line including the tweeter and the JMLC. I really am eager to experiment on both positions and try to learn to hear the differences.

And sure, you will do the experiments. I still would advise you do not worry about neither tweeter nor alignment it with MF and do juts MF and upper bass. If your tweeter operates over 9.6k hen it is juts icing on the cake. Also, trust me, if you get accustom to listen a properly implemented acoustic system that does not go over 10K then it will be a magnificent experience for you to discover how in reality HF shall sound. So, many people out there use too powerful tweeters juts because then have impotent MF….

I think getting the fundamental (in my case 2" tractrix 200 and Radian 850pb) and the upperbass (110 tractrix with supravox) right to start sounds like a good approach. Even the earlier post suggesting getting the upperbass alone right by itself is something I want to do. If I can get them to integrate well with each other and the room sounding fundamentally right, it would be a great step towards the right direction. It may be very beamy but it will not be a quality I would be looking for in a 2 way horn. 

It is hard to tell. I do not know Radian 850pb or Supravox and I would not know that sound you will get out of them. I would also disagree with idea of getting the upperbass alone right. The person who delt a lot with upper bass horns might be able to do it. If you never did and the proposed system is your first project of this kind then you will be blind to the upper bass channel itself....
