RE: it can be overdone IMHO

"maybe horns are a bit like a musical instrument, they need to impart some vibration to produce that 'live' feeling."

I don't think so. I wonder how much many horns are really vibrating anyway, especially heavy ones used with 1" drivers and bolted solidly to baffles. Can a 1.75" aluminum diaphragm really exert that much force? I wonder.

Horn damping often seems to be something people do because it's so easy to do, maybe with benefit but probably often with none. I damped the lips of the 811s in my Nineteens, it's easy enough to glob some modeling clay in there and it can't hurt. But is it actually doing anything? I doubt it.
