I am NOT talking about single wideband drivers or any back loaded type horns. I am talking about properly made front loaded horns.
For example, the Danley Synergy horns, that use single horn with multiple drivers to cover a wide bandwidth. Driver selection, crossover freq, even horn shape aside, is there something inherently wrong with this concept, of using ONE horn for all drivers rather than one horn for each driver?
Example: coaxial driver driver with front horn. 
Thank you.

Noviygera, when you mention a coaxial loaded into front horn it is very much not the same as what Synergy horns are. Yes, the wideband horns (coaxial and etc) are inherently wrong, the whole concept of horn loading contradicts it. People still do them and the marketing pimps still sing odes to them, but it does not mean that that wideband horns attempt are worthy from a perspective of “what might be done”.

The Synergy horns are different animal all together and they could not be approached as wideband horns. I do not feel all warm and fussy about Synergy idea but I admit that I do not “get” the idea. Danley is extremely capable person and in today world he is one of the most prominent horn authorities, not fake BS authorities as most of them are but truly potent person. I understand what he is doing but I have absolutely no point of reference how it materializes itself in sound, at least in sound that I understand and value. This is why I feel that I do not “get” the Synergy horns despites that I do understand how they work in theory. Danley operates in slightly different environment and I have no idea how his successes and failures are applied to context of home installations.
