The thing about horns is, "developing" them consumes a lot in terms of time and materials, and they are expensive to materialize. SPL modeling programs can be great for getting in the ballpark, but YMMV when it comes to "level of demands" from a hi-fi system, or when to stop "development" of a horn or the system it is part of. Plenty of people seem happy to "model" a speaker system and then build accordingly, then they listen to Techno with pleasure. This site has up to now been geared to classical Music, and I think there is a general notion here that performances vary in terms of quality, and that speakers that make this plain are OK, aesthetic disappointments notwithstanding. Drivers and horns that are "swamped" have a hard time rendering "serious" music credibly. Who decides what's "swamped", or what's ultimately off kilter? You do.
