If the 'XO' point is kept low enough, I agree, but I've experimented enough with BLs that above ~250Hz (some say as low as 100Hz) I find the comb filtering unacceptable, so as always YMMV.

>The back horn throat chamber (LP acoustic filter)is best eliminated - this removes the nasty looking peaks (phase inversions?) shown by HornResponse - which even if well down, must surely be heard full level from the front.

Hmm, if you design the horn properly, the filter doesn't cause this due to the first section of the horn damping it. I assume that either by design/experimentation/blind luck yours works due to having the ~correct first section that is in effect the LP filter.
