Hello Romy!
At least for corner horns I think I can say that lightweight drivers are the better solution. HBM's corner horns with, I think, 18" drivers sound as if an avalanche was rolling over you, something I didn't experience with corner horns containing four 8" drivers I heard at the home of a Manger addict. An other difference was that these horns were completely built of thick soft-fiber boards, nothing hard at all, but I think the drivers played the mayor role. But what I learned from HBM is that corner horns are less dependent on "real" corners as one usually thinks. In the visiting a reader column of a German hifi magazine I even saw a system where he avoided an existing corner to get better results. What bout this?
