Looking at the speaker I was wondering how it could produce this nice bass - I was reassured by reading that it has four woofers in the back! Design seems interesting, with a first order crossover for the bass around 200 kHz and a single capacitor for the tweeter. 98db sensitivity.

Hornings are quite excellent Hybrid horn transducers imho and may be picked up in the pre owned market from time to time for very reasonable monies , I ran the slightly different driver configuration , but fundamentally same design concept, Agathon Ultimates for a while .

Nice. Dexter Gordon on saxophone and Freddie Hubbard on trumpet (but Hancock is the star of the show here and his piano is nicely recorded and centered even in the stereo version). Typically the kind of recording which probably benefits from a mono version.

There's a CD version with both the mono and stereo versions (which I just ordered out of curiosity...): https://www.discogs.com/release/7581931-Herbie-Hancock-Takin-Off

Yes, the woofers are loaded into a TQWT, as is the front firing 5 inch driver. So, it is a double TQWT design. What you can do then is tune the lengths of each horn to smooth out the cancellations within the horns and you get a quite smooth bass response that is also quite deep and full of impact.

The 5 inch mid has a 10KG(!) Alnico magnet and very low moving mass...this makes it ultra responsive ...much closer to a compression driver in it's explosiveness. It is also run without filter and by removing the whizzer you eliminate the main source of harshness in the driver.

The fact the the woofers play up to 200Hz means they really help flesh the lower mids/upper bass of a driver that would normally struggle in that range.

There is definitely a bit of alchemy involved to get the whole thing to play together as well as it does...but it does indeed play well together!

Horning has traded off ultimate tweeter resolution for coherence. As the tweeter is a paper cone, it matches sonically seamlessly with the midrange. The woofers are also paper.

I am reminded a bit of Zellaton speakers in the sense that every driver was of the same sandwich design...even a cone tweeter! Very coherent presentation as a result...probably my favorite conventional standard cone speaker.

The Agathon Ultimate was the speaker that got me interested in the Horning brand in the first place! A very special speaker.
