I strongly agree that horns work best in all horn systems.

I agree of course, but I've also found that if you're going to have a mix of horns and direct radiators that you get the best result with the horns handling the low end. I've got horn loaded subs with TL mains in my HT, horn loaded subs with MTM mains in my studio, and both work very well. Commercial products do it the other way around, IMO not because it works better that way, but purely to keep the size of the LF cab smaller. I've never heard anyone describe the sound of a high frequency horn as 'effortless', but it's nearly always applied to a horn loaded sub or woofer.
