I maintain my earlier statement: I can work more accurately with the
hand circular saw.  For one thing, I am manipulating a light saw rather
than an awkward sheet of plywood.  Also, if I set the guide on the "work
side", rather than the "scrap side" then if I run off, the worst that
can happen is that the piece is slightly too large.  This can be
corrected by simply running the saw along the guide again.  In all that
cutting (over 100 pieces) I spoiled exactly zero pieces.  I ran off a
few times but only into the scrap.  And yes, the circular saw is a very
high quality unit.

About the horn length.  There are several variables.  One is that the
horn length can be shorter in some designs than others.  It is the mouth
area that sets the low frequency cut off.  The Klipsh design uses a much
shortened horn as compared to the bulk of the straight horn designs.
It's not perfect but after living with it for several years I contend
that I have yet to hear anything as satisfying.
