Interesting Communtiy bass horns

Any experience or thoughts on these horns. I've never seen a horn with the driver in the side rather at the end/start of the taper. I've to give one or both a try in my living room, but NY is too far away.

They certainly aren't subs, but look interesting. I suspect they roll below 70-80 Hz.

Probably godawful loud.

The specs say 40hz, but who knows how many db down that is...... then again, those thing are almost 4 feet deep, too.

Probably godawful loud.

I'd think so being 3 horn loaded 15" woofers.

I think there are part of the same series that your Community belongs to....... the Community that you got along with the Altec gear you got last year.

I'm not sure if that would be a compromise or not. I haven't thoroughly read any horn theory, but conical horns are addressed in some of the literature that I have...... maybe I should read it?
