Default Planar dipole specular horn, is possible?

Hi,
I'm interested in open baffle dipole speakers build.
I choose the Bohlender Graebener RD40 Planar Transducer
(Parts-Express.com:*Bohlender Graebener RD40 Planar Transducer | rd40 planar tweeter ribbon tweeter planar transducer)
My question is: can i use a double specular horn (like tactrix one) on
that driver to take advantage of dipole configuration? (somethings
like the image attached)
thank you in advance

Yes,

I would think it would increase your listening distance , so make sure you have the space , figure 4-5 ft off the back wall and 14-16 ft from the drivers.. My past experiences of doing such , does make for a fixed head in the vice listening experience ,

regards,
