Chris, The point of digital delay is well taken. Digital has no problems to delay and if someone had only digital as source then it is very simple to use tow parallel DACs and to stick temporary storage memory in one or them. In case of multiple so...

Would not a 9ft-11ft long bass horn path (tapped horn or any horns) cause a sonic problem if not physically time aligned with the upper bass or mid bass channel? The only way to fix that would be to place the bass horn 9-11ft closer TO YOU than other...
