When you design a 3-way system taking into account the 3 octave horn rule, and the knowledge that a 350 Hz horn doesn't load properly until a couple of hundred hertz higher (500-550) that would be fine if that is were you want the midrange horn to crossover at. If however you are designing a 4-way system (adding a mid-bass) then you will want your midrange horn to crossover higher, say start loading at 800 Hz. So am I correct in thinking that a 350 Hz, although it will work fine, a 550-600 Hz horn would work even better? I'm making these out of wood so I can do whatever I want. And a 600 Hz tractrix horn would be smaller.
