Post Subject: Another option, very interesting. Martinshorn speak up.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 7/13/2017
My local guy that I referred above informed me that he has Klipschorn type bass units in partial states of build that can be completed to my specific requirements. This is very interesting and I will be talking to him this week. However, I am not familiar personally with Klipschorn. I understand idea of cause but I have no practical experience to install the things and did not experiment with Klipschorn as midbass unit only. Furthermore I do not know what would be difference between Klipschorn and the “Klipschorn type bass units”.  Well, I know what would be the difference but I have absolutely no idea how the difference might or might not benefit sound. The corner loaded horns are own domain and I had very little practical exposure to it. 
 
To insult the injury my guy suggest that I can request my own specific requirements. I do not have any that has any proven result. Conceptually, if it were the corner loaded topology then the physical extending of my midbass channel into the room will be not there and I might not have that nasty 60Hz mode. If so then I can run the horn as low as I wish, so I do not min to go for 6-7 feet toll enclosure, perhaps even for double drivers enclosure. I have no idea if I ever need it. The time-align is still remind the main subject and there is no solution for it, I am for sure do not delay the main channels. My local guys sound intelligent about the Klipschorn, let him to talk and see what he will pitch to me:

martinshorn, you look like know the Klipschorn in an out, if you were in my shoes and if you have a freedom to impose any specific requirements to Klipschorn then what would be your recommendations?
