Remember that at the cone the wave front is not spherical, it is a flat plane. It only becomes spherical after transversing down the horn. This happens because the distance along the sides of the horn is longer than straight through the center axis o...

JD,In the case of the mid-bass horn, the throat transition does not affect the sound enough to worry about IMO. Due to the narrow bandwidth (100Hz - 1000Hz) the step transition between the woofer cone and horn throat is acoustically invisible. I...
