I agree Martin.
That's one reason I don't get horns built.
If you are using the driver at 90-100 HZ and up, and have a steep crossover like 24 db, then there seems to be no point to making the horn.
I have also found that using "full range drivers" at 80-90 Hz up takes away none of that single driver magic, in terms of imaging, as opposed to flogging that poor beast down to the nether regions of bass. This is based on my experiments, mainly with the stephens trusonic 80FR driver.
