Is there ever gonna be a Porn Horn mk3? Maybe that goes down to 90-100hz? I was just curious. Have people gone off the Porn Horns? Maybe becuase they need kick bins below them, then subs below that which is too much money and hassle for a lot of people to do just to be able to use POorn Horns.

I bet Rog has sold less than 10 Mk2, so why should he bother with a Mk3?

a porn horn that goes significantly lower wouldn't be a porn horn.

have a read of horn theory, and the bandwidth that various horn expansions/sizes can support.

It would warrant a kick section, and become the TMS-porn

I was gonna get somemk2 Porn Horns but had a think about the fact that they don't go low enough and decided against it. He could make some Porn Horn mk3 on the same principle as the RCF 4Pro 6001 but passive couldn't he? Thats an all horn loaded cabinet. But I guess thats not gonna happen. How come he's probably sold less than 10 then? Because they don't don't go down low enough?

They're really meant for systems that use bass systems that go high enough. I think they're a very classy design, tbh. If you want lower extension, stick a USB on the bottom.

4pro is a double 12 reflex.

The 4Pro 6001-AS speakera are horn loaded. The dual 12" drivers are angled and slightly inside the cabinet, not on the front of the cabinet.

That is a clamshell baffle, and is not hornloaded. Clamshell saves space and allows one to place drivers coaxially. Advantages include smaller frontal baffle space, better coupling, and acoustic centre closer to the speaker above. Some manufacturers claim this to be 'semi-horn loading', but that's marketing drivel. Nothing to do with horns at all.

The mid is however unquestionably a horn.

You can buy the 4pro 6001 8" mid horn and closed back driver off the shelf:

http://www.toutlehautparleur.com/pavillons/rcf-h6000-p-2804.html

Plots look very nice, 107dB @1m/1w for a 80 x 60 horn its pritty loud.
