Gargoyle, I do not know the answer. I have two friends who make paper MF horns and they claim that they are fine. I did not heard their system but even if I did then there a very high change that I would not be able to say anything defiantly. To say something defiantly would require to make the same horns from wood and paper for the same driver and to listen them. I am absolutely sure that somewhere in the frequency slow would be a threshold where the mass and density of paper horn would be a factor that adversely impact sound. Where that frequency region would be I have very hard time to say. Juts out of my ass I would say that it might be 400Hz but it very much might be an octave or two lower or higher. It would depends from very many factor including the total mass of the paper horn and amount and type of damping one put on the external side. Frankly to make wooden MF horn is not so hard and not expensive to buy. The upper bass horn more costly but I would not go with them paper made.
