...is a most admirable quality. As an elder who has found the quarantine couch
exceedingly pleasing, I honor your enthusiasm. However, much can be said for the
wisdom of studying eluded to in the above responses.
So, in your large horn you do not need a tractrix curve. It will be a waste of
precious vertical commodity. To the best of my understanding, an exponential
horn will suffice, and that the tractrix can be saved for the 400Hz and above range.
LeCleach flare may be significant at even higher frequencies.
I have found much pleasure in learning to implement a midrange horn, mostly with
Alnico drivers using phenolic diaphragms. They tend to err on the forgiving side,
making learning pleasant.
