Line array and horn loading the midbass ...?

Not really knowing much about either world, would it be possible to combine these design techniques?  Perhaps they're orthogonal..... no such thing as 'stupid questions' right?

How would horn loading effect the CTC spacing of the drivers?  :scratch:

You can do that; however, you'll really need a large horn to support lower frequencies.

Yes, that makes sense. I'm just starting to read about horn loading, liked the increase in efficiency aspect of it. Wondered if you could save a few dollars in the number of drives used.

Thanks
