The 2234 has a steeper e.g. deeper cone than the 2123, I get you. But this difference might be ~5cm, so most of the offset to the horndriver still remains. So I would think their shouldn´t be a big difference between 2234 and 2123 concerning the offset-issue, or did I miss anything?
I believe the reflections of the 2234 or 2123 underneath the horn would make a much bigger difference.
The narrower the dispersion of the cone driver, the less reflections will bounce of the bottom of the horn. So the 15" woofer should be clearly in advantage here.
You said the dispersion of a 15" woofer around 1khz should be around 100°. What about a 10" woofer at 1khz for comparison?
We are not tied to the 2123´s, if it doesn´t make any sense we will sell them.
There is only the chance to mount one 15" driver because of the size, so no 4435 clone on the bass department...
