It's really just like a Zobel, doing nothing but impedance compensation. Don't need it on the older radial horns, but the new horn kinda does, at least in some cases. Some drivers can live without it on the H290C, but some have too big an impedance peak near crossover and it manifests in the response curve. So the Rs shunt resistor is just there to ensure Zmax never exceeds the value of Rs.
