On another note, I've been following the Fitzmaurice articles in audioXpress for years.  It seems he has only one criteria for a speaker.  SPL.  Some of the stuff he does is really scary.  But then, I've never heard one of them.
Jim,
 
this not only his problem, although he personally has many other problems. Pretty much whatever knowledge exist about horns describes the propagation of pressures within compression drivers and within horns but unfortunately it does not describe the infliction those pressures have to Sound. Fitzmaurice is not good illustration. He is dead, his horns are dead and he is the best illustration of the “angry ill-bred engineering”. His horns are result of "a Moron heard some noise about the subject" but has no cultural or creative skills to interrupt the noise in a meaningful considerate. There are quite a few people out there who employ the trivial semi-relevant semantic, designing horns via $19.95 programs and see horns only as the primitive pressure transformer. The realty of a sound reproducing machine is more complex then that. Seeing a horn installations only as SPL-dispatching devise is like seeing an amplifier only as a propagation of currents across wires...
