If reducing throat size increases compression ratio, efficiency and overall horn size, why not make the throat as small as possible? I can understand that there would be some point where the throat would be so small it would set up a sort of squeeze effect and might make turbulence noises too. There should be a best size though, and it seems like that would be small. Is there an advantage to making the throat larger?
