"I would be no surprised that in the case of proper use the GOTO-type approach and Fane-type approach would perform identically properly"
Both the Fane and the Goto where used as compression drivers, so there where no principal differences of use.
"Do you think that that based upon your experience with GOTO and FANE it might be possible to generalize “what is better”"
The sound of the Goto 505 in the lower range was similiar to what you hear from a 8" woofer trying to do what a 15" can in the bass.
Although the sound was clean as free of distortions, it lacked impact and authority.
Maybe it is not a problem with the Goto driver, but maybe there are limmit to horns ability to transform great ratios of impedance, just as there is with electrical transformers?
The air presure at the beginning of the horn in the Goto case will be higher, maybe the non linearity of air starts to be a factor producing compression?
