Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

RE: Horn mouth shape ?

In actual listening tests I find little difference between square horns of the same side wall angle as a round horn.

Square or rectangular horns are far easier to build than round horns, and have the advantage of easily designing the horn for the horizontal and vertical dispersion pattern desired for a particular listing environment.

My personal preference for a horn pattern for home use would be one that covers the "critical listening" area of the couch, and little else.

That said, a horn with mouth dimensions that would provide that pattern to around 500 Hz would require a depth and mouth height unacceptable to me in the rather small home theater I have.
