And you have proved it: I am reading (and studying) GSC for over 15y and, as I have worked in Physics research for some years, I am eligible to say that you are performing experimental Physics using scientific methodology. Even failed experiments are thoroughly documented! The funny thing is that we have worked together in the past (don’t remember how many years ago) re EAR 834 (I provided some Spice simulations and a little help in proving that replacing the tube in the output cathode follower with a BJT transistor is quantitatively ok but unacceptable.)

To be fair, the Jensen TB-3 horn does not have that many bends. It has only one. On the other hand, I don’t think it is a horn. The document states "flare cutoff frequency of 43 cycles": Impossible with about 1m flare length. It is a bass reflex with a horn(y) shaped duct (instead of the traditional cylinder / Helmholtz resonator). 
Admittedly, this topology permits tunning to lower frequency (compared to a BR with the same driver).

Back to the topic:
I am not interested in blindly copying/replicating something I don’t yet understand. The only reason I mentioned the Jensen TB-3 is simply that it is the only thing that I have seen (and studied to some extend) resembling the posted pic.

I am obviously interested in dipole corner horn (why? Maybe the avatar answers that).
Is your experiment a horn?
Or it is simply a box with two openings?
Can you share topology information?  (a hand sketch would be fine)
