Horns and Room Size

[ HighEfficiencySpeakers Forum ] [ Help ]

How big a room is needed for a horn? Does a bass horn work in a small room, say the size of a bedroom?
Seems like there would be a size limit. How does the idea of acoustic transformer apply if the room is very small?
In that case, the horn isn't matching a small cone to a large space anymore. Does that change things?
