Great post Bob! Long time no see...hope all is well.
My 2 cents:
1. If you HAVE to use a single driver, then a back loaded horn may yield you the bass you need, with sufficient SPL. One of those mongo Lowther horns (like a hedlund horn) if properly done, may allow reasonable SPL levels.
2. The solution I use is a lot simpler: Use a sub for the lower frequencies. THis takes care of the SPL issue.

Overall, Bob, you are right, a single driver non-horn, non-sub solution is great for simple music played at low volumes, but not really that good for high volume/complex music.
