It is the throat.
Emilars are a lot better than 511s,I think, but I am sure there are many many more.
I guess it depends on what you have heard to compare. To me, 511s and 811s are far down the list. In fact, I can't stand them...and I listen to a lot of inferior stuff quite happily.
I bring this up to point toward a better world for those who like 5111s and reassure those who think they are nasty ringing things that they have company and that not all horns are like that.
If you like them, I am jealous!
Here is a waterfall plot of a _mechanically damped_ 511/902 measured in the anechoic chamber at a major technical university in Europe by a friend.
Throat impedance also drops off high, so not much loading at the specified 500hz.
