So with everyone's guidance (thank you) on this forum, I was able to CNC and build a pair of Tham15's and am blown away.
I need tops now...
SynTriP would be ideal, but after scouring for plans, they ended up just being to complicated for me. (beautiful speaker tho)
Im wondering if anyone can recommend a synergy design to go with my THAMs that is easy and cost effective to build but still has that magic hologram sound? and can keep up with (4) thams (eventually).
Id like to avoid making a custom HF driver adapter if possible, and hoping to find something with plans LOL
Thanks

Maybe this project could fit the purpose:https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/2x12-and-1-4-coax-cd-synergy.373100/
Where in the world are you located?
Because me personally would love to see somebody put an extended horn portion in front of this coaxial: https://www.oberton.com/en/products/neodymium-coaxials/467-10ncx.html?showall=1
Mr Tom Danley talked about how the first prototype was made of the Sh100 here:

But if your up for a challenge then a classic straight from the “details in the patents” version is a fun exercise.
Mine took ~6 years from thought to execution so.. no rush.

Easy, cost effective, and not complicated is not how I would describe a synergy build...
Actually Id love to see what would come up if folks tried to to do a 1 sheet of plywood challenge , kind of like others did with TH subs a while back.
One sheet of 1/2 Birch? for both speakers!! LOL

Go for it, but the limit in size will limit the frequency range the horn have pattern control.

understood. Its kind of an iron law situation. Thank you for the link fyi. very well put together.
At this point Im kind of asking myself now what is the easiest to build/cost.... second best to synergy but has "some" of the hologram" effetc? Coax as mentioned above?

How about this one? https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/2-way-synergy-inspired-by-spl-runt.378456/ Might not fit SPL/LF extension requirements though. Two Fane Sovereign 8-225s and a BMS4550 would work well. The single horn parts fit a 800x600 mm sheet, you would have to design your box around it and simulate how low you could get with the 8" of choice.
It is not really a complete design - my prototype evolved into something else. The low end capability is given by the two 8" woofers in a closed or bass reflex box. You would have to determine the volume and tuning and then add a box around the horn. The speaker that inspired this build can do 65 Hz up at 400 W according to its specs. https://www.mixonline.com/recording/sound-physics-labs-offers-runt-373091
Has anyone tried to design a synergy horn that also runs the negative phase from the back of the driver through a 1/4 wave delay network, out through the front bottom band pass ports? Tapped synergy with only 2 drivers and a CD + 4 ports?
or would the box have to be excessively large?
I realize this is not getting me to my goal of simplicity of build LOL
