Perhaps the book falls under the "theory of irrelativity".  I thought maybe there could be a useful tidbit inside.  One good thing about blogs - people may not agree with you - but at least you can safely post an opinion.

I do not know what is in the book. Books, or blogs or talks… they are all the same. I usually do not look for expression of knowledge but rather for non-expression of the very certain attitudes. One of the “red flag” attitudes would be a person who teaches paint mixing but who has no vision but just his “angry engineering expired” hallucinations….

I'm not a loudspeaker guy, yet I keep thinking there is a lot we can do to improve on horns.  Like you said, most of the existing implementations leave a lot to be desired.  Shoot, I don't see how most of the commercial stuff is any better that the original Klipschorns.  But that's just me.  I have yet to hear an uncolored system.  Next horns I'll probably hear are the Azzolinas.

It is very difficult to talk about existing commercial implementations and the most of the DIY implementations not really better. In horn world the DIY mistaken implementations are even more sever then in any other DIY speaker domain. You see, in the horn world there are “culty: foolish “subscriptions” that very severely deceive audio people toward to poor results. Here and there, there are some interesting ideas, including some solution in vintage implementations, but very few people really go into complete superior result out of horns installations…

Anyhow, Azzolina horns should be very purely performing speakers. The ported enclosure and widely operating yellow drivers spell disaster… Actually I do not call the design like Azzolina’s as horns at all. I call it “drivers with wings”. Looking at what Azzolina’s boys do it might appear that Lynn Olson and Earl Geddes is correct and the horns suck…
