I don't think Steve "bought into" the conical propaganda, more that it is easier for him to make conical horns and get a system up and running. So this is by no means finished. We have discussed him trying some different profiles (Le Cleac'h) for the midrange horns and he is happy to try this. Expect some experiments with this shortly, starting with the upper mid horns.

Of cause he "bought into" the conical propaganda. Why he did not make triangular horns than – it would be easier to make? The point is that horn profile is not what is easy to make but what has any practical sonic rational. The argument the you bring remind me that old Russian joke: A drunk guy crawling at nigh across dirty street on his knees. A cap came and asked what his was looking. The drunk respond that he looking the lost keys from his house. The cap asked where he lost them. The drunk said that is was at the next street. The cap asked why in such case he was looking the keys here. The drunk reply that it is because this street has better lighting…

Anyhow, I do not think that your Steve will be able to go La-Horns as he has no height in his room, not that I feel it is necessary. The installation looks rational and balanced now and if he begins to mix the horns of different profile then it will be feel discombobulated.

Good progress, I did not expected that he go so sensible on his project. If with time he will be able to develop in himself an interest to real music but to the crap the he was listening before then he have a chance to his installation to sound interesting.
