If I were doing it over again with a larger driver, I would increase the depth of the horn a tiny bit and size the throat for the driver. The flare shouldn't be that dramatically different after doing so.
I opted for a fairly rapid flare.
It is always hard to say what will happen unless you are reproducing the same exact design, with the same driver, using the same amplifier, electronics, same room, same wood, same speaker in room position, etc.
Too many variables IMHO. I've played many of my diy horns in different homes (systems) and rooms. Every room and every amplifier made the horn sound "different" in some way.
Your are so right. The answer for me will be try it in my auditorium and system. Did you used 45 degrees angle between the panels right ?
I am thinking to build the first prototype with thin panels for easy building.
I see that you have others kind of horns . How you compare this horn to the others ? Thx
Again, this is a difficult build in comparison to all other horns I've built.
I don't know your level of woodworking expertise, so I just give that disclaimer. Here is a link to help you calculate your bevel cut.

Thank you for share your idea.
I have good skills in construction, but not having the wood pro machines, I think that I can handle it.
This prototype sound more like a open baffle that than a box horn design?
