Very nice!
What's the size of the 80Hz horn for the Altecs?
Sorry for the slight tangent, but since many horn connoisseurs are looking at this thread: would a Yuichi with a 5" cone be a good idea for 500-2500Hz? Or better look at Edgar Tractrix, or other?
the Altec bass horn had 75cm x 75cm mouth, 65cm deep cab.
Yuichi with 5 inch throat makes no sense, sorry. You'd only increase the throat if you also increased the overall size, eg 200hz, but it would be v large. I've seen a huge Iwata horn like this. Also, compression driver simply sound better.
500hz very do-able for two inch driver.

I think that you should "go" for the Tune Audio ANIMA. It's one of the the best loudspeaker i've ever heard. it is a very smart desing, with downfiring bass loading. I think that's the trick.
p.s. sorry for my english.

Thanks..though I am doubtful of the directivitiy of the bass, as the downward firing horn is not likely to blend the midbass with the mid horn. I suspect the mid horn is crossed around 500Hz....means the bass horn needs to get to 500/550. That frequency being fired into the ground seems odd to me.
Thanks. That makes sense for the bass horn, but not the mid horn. Do you know the Xover point for that as it looks like approx 300hz from the dimension.
Just realised Tune uses a 5 inch driver for the mid horn. I wonder what the freq cutoff is of the mid horn in order to cross at 250hz...?
It's like the Avantgarde (old) Uno at 220HZ with no crossover at all (acoustical cut-off)
...... The Avantgarde Uno is technically a hybrid: a sealed-box cone subwoofer supplements the horn-loaded midrange and tweeter modules. The midrange driver is a 4" unit with a 2.5" dome, covering the range from 220Hz to 3500Hz, and was developed especially for the Uno. In the original Uno, the tweeter's sensitivity was lower than that of the midrange, which required a network to lower the midrange sensitivity by 1.5dB.
The Uno Series Two has a new tweeter that matches the midrange in sensitivity, so that the midrange is now driven directly by the amplifier, with no electrical crossover. The midrange driver's physical design produces an acoustical rolloff of 12dB/octave above 3.5kHz and 18dB/octave below 220Hz. The tweeter's response potentially extends down to 1kHz, but it's rolled-off by a 12dB/octave crossover at 3.5kHz so that it matches the midrange
