Bill, the result you or anybody else gets with resonating surface of the horn if NOT what I was talking about. You and Jessie recognized in what I was saying some specific problems of your horn but those problem are from very different reason. The things that I described are in present AFTER a horn is working properly and has no obvious mistakes of own sound or integration.

What I was taking about the eccentric asymmetry of bass horn sound where the band-pass of the horn itself create difference in attack and decay. I am looking a bit further then just to squash the transient ringing by changing of the driver Q or dropping out impedance of the amp by using positive current feedback. I think “haralanov” got it very right with his idea of “Acoustic diode”, sure it would not be as he depicted it but I do already has some ideas of linearizing the before and after transient pressure across the bass horn. I will post them as time allow.

Again, I am not taking about just resonances or booming of bad horns or improperly used horns. Those problem need to be addressed by conventional ways.
