Gera, isn't the basic idea of the [front loaded] horn to provide shaped, increasing gain as the frequency drops? So, is the idea here to use several wide-range drivers that all need similar boost, or ???
If to reverse engineer such a thing, what are the goals that are not met by existing designs? Do you simply insist on a horn, but you want to conserve space, or DIY a Synergy-type "horn", or ??? I have not heard the Synergy. What in your experience qualifies the Synergy as a properly made front loaded horn, and how else to take advantage of these qualities? FWIW, I think I have seen DIY discussions of the Synergy-type horns that included some drawings and photos, if that's where you're heading.
As for your last question, "serious" problems do inhere with the concept, on the face of it. However, if you are down with the Synergy speaker, then wouldn't this be an example of a successful gambit in just the direction you favor? We need only one example of something to demonstrate the possibility.
