Paul,
I have not heard the synergy horn or any speaker with that design.
Here is what I am talking about:http://www.yorkville.com/images/products/u15_cut_sm.jpg
In this particular case there are 3 mids and 1 tweeter driver sharing the same horn.
This solution seems very elegant (theoretically) at least because it eliminates the problem of larger midrange and midbass/upperbass horns physically shadowing the high horns.
Also, less cost and more efficient placement possibilities.
I am trying to understand if there is a flaw (acoustical) in this single horn concept. If this is a valid concept then I do not understand why more people are not experimenting with this configuration. In the case of Romy's speakers, he would be able to combine both S2 midrange horns into one horn.
