The large 42Hz horn would probably want to be crossed over from 160Hz-200Hz at the most which would leave the top octave of the horns range for attenuation.  So what you really need is a horn from about 100Hz to go above it...not going to happen.  The thing about the 42Hz horn is that you can pretty much put it anywhere in the room because the frequencies that it covers do little for imaging or soundstaging.  Of course you can keep them time-aligned if you are persistent like Romy with them in the ceiling behind the listening chair.  Personally I would vertically align the channels that are going to provide imaging and figure out how to do below 100Hz from somewhere else in the room.

Regarding the "curl", I personally would not bother...they take up far to much real estate.
Thank you, Anthony, I'll follow your suggestion.I don't have 3m ceiling, but I have space in the back.So, I'll put tapped horn and 2m 42hz horn in the back and use space on frame for huge la-horn SmileI like this idea, because in this case I have extra space for 6th channel in case.
